A bit off-topic but somewhat relevant, I wanted to share this picture of a Ruby Throated  Humming Bird, female, with its tounge stuck out.  She was on sentry duty protecting the feeder, about 3~4 mtrs away, from interlopers!!

Nice photo there. I have seen a couple of humming birds around the garden but the are a bit shy and I may have to set up the camera with a remote shutter controll oonce I found a spot that they like to stay a bit longer then just a fleeting pass. Watch this space.
Anyway, did ya know, that there are only 4 species that have managed the flight of the humming bird. Like hover, backwards and side slipping. Obviously the humming birds themselves, Dragon flies, hawk moth's and the hover flies. and thats it

I have hatched a few chrysalis and cocoons over the years... Somewhere I have the pic's of a common hawk moth chrysalis I kept safe after it fell on the floor when removing a door frame!

But most recently I found these in the garden....

And a library pic from somewhere of the adult "large elephant hawk moth"

Big ass caterpillars! size of my little finger!     :headbang:
