Size: 4"
This lovely chap was on our deck post mid-day 3 July... seemed weak. I tried to coax him onto my finger so I could move him to nearby foilage, but he flew across the road! The next day, 4 July, I found him right where he'd landed, got him on my finger, took some photos (he was most obliging) then returned him to the saftey of a leaf. Camera: Canon SX-280 HD
