Drinking Drinking Nectar Lepidoptera Moth Moths Pollination Proboscis South Africa Tongue Tongues Grasslands


EDITORS COMMENTS
Cheers to the Karoo Party! ASW-4400, the life of every flower gathering in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape. This wild and wacky moth knows how to have a good time - sipping nectar like there's no tomorrow! With its elegant wings and delicate proboscis, it dives headfirst into plakkiebos flowers, indulging in a pollen feast fit for royalty. Inhabiting the drier regions of South Africa, especially succulent karoo and grasslands, this social butterfly is always up for a buzzing adventure. You'll often find them basking in the sun during the day, making their presence known with their vibrant colors and graceful flight. ASW-4400 is not your average party-goer; it takes its role as nature's pollinator seriously. Armed with its long tongue-like proboscis, it ensures that these beautiful flowers continue to thrive by spreading pollen from one bloom to another. Talk about being a wingman! So next time you're out exploring the African wilderness or simply admiring Alan Weaving's stunning wildlife photography collection (not affiliated with any company), keep an eye out for this charismatic Karoo moth. It's sure to bring some enchantment and whimsy to your day!
