The eastern loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) has figured out a way to broaden their meal options to include poisonous insects and reptiles that other birds wouldn\u2019t dare touch.

Bumble bees feed on nectar using a long tongue called a proboscis. The yellow-banded bumble bee (Bombus terricola) has a relatively short proboscis compared to some of its fellow bumble bee species so it will sometimes commit \u201cnectar robbery\u201d on flowers with longer petals. The bee will hold on to the flower with its legs and pierce the base of the petal and suck out the nectar with its proboscis.
