My Hummzinger feeder hangs from my patio door, so it is easily observed at any time, day or night. Hummers have it to themselves during the day with the exception of the odd fly/wasp/or other generally unsuccessful insect interloper. Recently well after dark, i chanced to observe a small moth that had alighted (is that a word) near one of the ports and was using its proboscis to probe around the area in search of nectar. This tiny moth had no chance to reach the nectar reservoir even if it hadn't been pretty well depleted. I am wondering, however, if there could be other similar more well endowed night visitors that i have been oblivious to that might be in the habit of visiting my feeder and perhaps yours as well. Perhaps this has been reported on by others?
