雖然叫做「捕蛛鳥」，其實主食是花蜜。長長的脖子和喙，能順利地伸進花裡吸食花蜜。這可是第一次近看紋背捕蛛鳥，而且探出頭的姿勢也很有趣。另一隻是藍喉太陽鳥，身上紅黃藍三原色全都有，十分鮮豔特殊，是高海拔太陽鳥的標誌。這次近拍到取食場景，體現了太陽鳥對花蜜的喜愛。我把這兩種鳥放在一起，是因為牠們都食用同一種花蜜，而且都有可以吸食花蜜的彎嘴，體現大自然趨同演化的神奇。

Although referred to as the streaked spiderhunter, this bird’s long neck and bill are suited to feeding on nectar. This is the first time I have been able to observe this bird up close. Its pose with head pointed upward is very interesting. The red, yellow and blue bird is a Mrs. Gould’s sunbird. It is not only brightly colored, but also a high-elevation sunbird indicator species. I was able to photograph it foraging up close and observe its love of nectar. I placed these two species together, as they both feed on the nectar of the same plant and have curved bills, highlighting the magic of convergent evolution.
