Description

this tiny fellow( less than 1/2 inch) was on the wall of my front porch Friday when it was only in the low 50's F.it had went down to the porch floor the next morning so I picked it up and brought inside.I put it on a cabinet and started taking pictures.the flash warmed it up and it started flying.I lost track of it, but last night it had landed on the TV.this is one shot on the screen.this morning it is still there.if it warms up outside today I will release it thanks for watching this space and any comments
