Hummingbird grabs a snack (bug) at the feeder in slow motion

Hummingbirds don't just drink nectar from flowers (and feeders) - They're carnivorous and eat a large quantity of insects on a daily basis. They can frequently be seen darting about in open areas for no apparent reason while they are actually catching and eating small flies and gnats, which aren't usually visible to human observers. In this case, the camera happens to catch a tiny gnat flying by close enough to be seen. The bird notices, too, and promptly chomps down the hapless snack. This scene was filmed in Santa Clarita, California with a high speed HD camera resulting in 240 fps slow motion playback (10x slower than real life speed).
