Not a bug
We have a dropmore scarlet honeysuckle vine growing against our dining room window. Every now and then, a bug flies up to the trumpet-shaped flowers except it is not a bug. It is a hummingbird.

We read "The Hummingbird's Gift" by Sy Montgomery. I just found out that is a woman naturalist who has written several books. Lynn started with Montgomery reading "Secrets of the Octopus" and very much liked it. When the two of us toured Cuba with Elderhostel, I picked up a lifesized wooden hummingbird and it hangs demurely from the dining room chandelier.
As I have looked at the wooden model, I can imagine a hummingbird asking God "Why me?" It is true that the bird's bill and flying abilities perfectly match the task of sucking pollen from small trumpet-shaped flowers but few other sources of food can be consumed. We read that hummingbirds fly from the Florida coast to central America for winter.
