He looks BIG!!! Did you know that they can catch and kill hummingbirds? That's why I remove them away from the feeder whenever I find them there.

I just love these. To me they are such a blast to see, love reading all about them and their habits, one of my most favorite bugs. You captured its colors and features along with the dof of the flower beautifully my friend. Way to go.
