V/F Marvelous image, Doris! They just hate to sit still:>). We had a fresh hatch today and three were fighting for one sunny spot on some leaves. Fierce butterfly spirals and bumps - no one got much sunning time - LOL. You did great capturing this one while it was taking a split second to rest.

Thanks Carol. You are so right. There were definitely "fierce butterfly spirals" and I probably looked like a crazy person, turning and twisting and aiming all over the place. I wish I had the energy of these tiny creatures!

Beautiful Doris, great detail! We seem to have more of these around this year too. Love them! v/f

Very Nice ! I can never find one in a garden they are always in the swamp & to close to the water line for me to chase it ( alligators ) ;)
Doris Potter replied:
You lead a dangerous life! My worst enemies are the mosquitoes so I won't complain from now on. :-)

Thanks Mitch but it doesn't compare to your wonderful drone fly in that regard.
