For days, I have been trying to photograph a visiting Swallowtail Butterfly, but she is both skittish and very busy flitting from flower to flower and uncurling her long, long proboscis in search of nectar.
It is amazing that the proboscis, at full extension, is as long as the antennae and, at rest, is neatly curled up. I have not witnessed, close up and personal, the curled proboscis. Will keep looking.
