<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I was just out taking pics again this week end and here are a couple.

This first one is not tack sharp, but I have never seen this before that I remember. It appears to be the bees tongue or some kind of a sucking devise. I don't know what to call it.

Is this one any better? This image was pretty dark to begin with and when trying to lighten it up some, I think it did get a bit pale.

Thanks, Ron

Nice ones- the darkened version of #1 does look better
Think insect tongues are called probosci - have quite complex structures wiht a protective sheath on the outside.
