    Looks like this flower keeps its nectar all the way in the back, so only this insect can reach it? Posted 5 years ago

      indeed, only insects with long proboscis can access the nectar of this Silene - but not only this insect. other butterflies and moths may also reach it. Posted 5 years ago
