If you look closely you can see the web in his beak. Hummingbirds are pretty tough little creatures. They only weigh as much as a dime. Their predators include cats, hawks, praying mantis, spiders and webs, and even some fish that can jump out of the water as well as frogs that can mistake a hummingbird for an insect.

I do admire this photo, but rather wish that you hadn't framed so tightly. I would love it more if the humming bird were smaller in the frame. The level of detail is really good - particularly on the plumage of the far wing.
