We took both of these pictures at a park. When it's drinking nectar, its proboscis wobbles. The proboscis is like a tongue. It is like a straw for sucking the nectar out of the plant. I can tell this is a male because his veins are thin. Female's veins are bigger. If you look close enough on a male, you can see it has two dots, one on each lower wing.
