Lin, I did add the last picture to the Database. The reason I posted the first one, even though not as clear as I would have wished, is to show how long the proboscis is that is used for sucking the nectar. It's amazing to me when I see how far back the moth can be, doesn't have to get right down in the flower, as in the second and third photos. I hope someday you will get to see the moths in action.
