Oh, that's nice!
I definitely didn't see anything this good on my patch of buckwheat today. What a beauty... I guess that means it's been pretty warm out your way?

Mid seventies, but it feels hotter.
First time I saw one, it was really torrid - near 100. Coto de Caza can be blistering.

Thanks, Lynette
I really like these guys, but don't see them often. This is the first one I saw dining, so it was pretty easy to shoot. It looked like a slow-moving wasp.
