The first time I came across them was just a couple of years ago when I moved to the North side and was in close proximity to mango trees and they were attracted to the ripe fruit which had fallen on the ground. I thought at first I was seeing a bat. They're very impressive and are huge. One of the cats initially found them quite fascinating and unfortunately killed one but I rescued three more in the ensuing weeks until he got tired of leaping through the air after them ...

Yep OT this guy was as big as my hand. So beautiful... We too thought it was a bat on the patio. My patents are here visiting from AZ and they were excited to get to see it.

A, your pictures are beautiful with great detail.

Even with my camera on my smart phone I'm never ready to catch the right pictures.
I'm not very camera savvy, even with the easiest one.

Keep the great pictures coming, so I/we can enjoy them!

Absolutely! I keep getting asked to start a blog but I don't like to write at all, maybe a photo blog....

My boyfriend is the BEST! He automatically grabs the camera and runs it to me anytime I say LOOK AT THAT! Lol.
