need adults!
Although this has been photographed many times, we don't yet have an associated adult from the same area or host. Please watch for them!

Thanks Lynette...
I saw it and just said to myself WOW! Then I thought, It's going to hop away when I try to get my camera close in for some images. Turned out to be very cooperative though as I took quite a few shots and then left it alone.
