I will freeze with a shock if I find it. Every creature seems to like such beautiful flowers. Great shot!

Excellent Barb. I have never seen one of these in the wild, then I am not too sure if we have them over the pond here :)))

It was a bit disconcerting the first time Insaw one. Thought it was a hummer, then I counted six legs...
