(Day 229) - Gracious Proboscis

I'm constantly amazed at the straw-like mouth (aka proboscis) of a butterfly. Even while upside-down they have perfect control of drinking delicious nectar. Like I said before, as a kid, I've tried this with a straw and failed...several times. 😅🦋

Upside down anything is very commendable!
