Hi Jane, this one flew into my backyard here in New York. Occasionally we'll get an exotic looking visitor. I just need to be 'quick on the trigger' to capture them.

Isn't he a beauty Melchisedec? Quite different then that other bug!

Thats Beautiful Paul , they thrive here in a few places on the Norfolk Broads the Funny thing is each year we go there purposely to try to see one and have never seen one but then when we were on holiday in France a couple of years ago we did see one it settled on a flower right next to us , we were thrilled ....

That's cool Amy. Sounds like he found you instead. They seem to have an amazing ability to make us smile.

Oh yes, Paul - very different! ?

I sent you a personal message. Please let me know if you didn't receive it - the gremlins are obviously working overtime!

Oh, Paul that's beautiful! I've never been lucky enough to see one of these.
