All those who have tried to shoot this creature now the difficulty of getting it in focus. This little devil flaps its wings 50-70 times a second, so you need a super-shutter speed to freeze them.

Beyond 10. The way the insect's feeding tube goes to the flower while in flight is fascinating.

This one is NOT a Perfect Image for me Venny. Blurred foreground and not enough HDR effect in my eyes. Perhaps too clean, if that's possible. You know I keep it Real. 9+
