By day you can find me sleeping in cool caves, tunnels, and old buildings. By night you can find me snacking on my favorite plant—agave. 

 

As a mom, peaceful rest allows me later to successfully locate food for my family. Only my babies and I journey to the U.S. to nourish our bodies with yummy pollen and nectar from a variety of agave and cacti; dad stays in Mexico to hold down the fort. I show them how to hover in flight over a beautiful flower and dig their long, fuzzy tongues in to get as much as possible. 

 

I migrate with the seasons and follow the blooming flowers, so I am always well-fed. [4]
