The first is of a beetle who, when you blow up the photo, it's body almost sparkles with different colors. The rest are of a moth who appears to be blowing a bubble or a drop of fluid out. I've seen flies do this, but never a moth.

The more I look at these, I realize it's coming from it's back end, not it's front. :D

This is an hairstreak butterfly, whose sole food source is liquid flower nectar. Liquid in = liquid out.

LOL... I figured as much. I guess I should have given it some privacy while it did it's business. :oops: :-P
