So do you have a light beam trigger and flash or a Better Beamer to light this?

Peter, these little things are magic!

A huge evolutionary set of adaptions gives us this incredible creature so that it can hover while sipping nectar so it has the energy to catch insects!

Amazingly circuitous path to do what other birds seem to do with less overhead. Or perhaps, needing less body mass to reproduce, the rapid wing movement is actually energy efficient compared to having larger wings and having to eat much more prey!
