Thank you very much Nadia for the clarification. Actually the
way of moving and sucking the nectar is very similar to that of the hummingbirds.

A valuable shot of the Hummingbird Sphinx, an insect usually with quicksilver on it, which hardly stands still in flight for a sufficient time to be able to focus on it; so even more congratulations for the capture!
