Note - the video was titled "A Moth's Amazing Proboscis" but it turned
out that the subject is actually a butterfly species. Hence, the title
is now corrected.
Some close up FHD footage of a Philippine Swift (Caltoris philippina) sipping nectar out of tiny flowers, using its very long proboscis. With its flexibility, light weight, suction/pumping system and fine controlability - all run by a "primitive brain" - this proboscis is an impressive example of nature's outstanding engineering. I recommend watching it in FHD (1080p) to see the fine details.
