Thanks! They do go into a state called "torpor" which is the insect's equivalent of sleep. It makes them much easier to photograph. :-) #9584285Richard B. Hallick August 08, 2011

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
