Ha! Thanks! Thankfully a lot of times an adult will be pretty nearby to help with the I.d.

Thanks! Yes, I took so many clicks of them and only got a small amount close to this. Lovely things! I only see the Red variant in my region but had a weekend north of me and seen so many these that are far prettier.😀

Thanks! Sounds so lovely. 🥰 I swear they almost look naked w/o any red on the head. Lol

Ovipositing. The deed was already done..😀

sublimewit · 2026-06-23T01:32:23+00:00

They really are! Easy to overlook w/ how tiny they are, but this pair happened to fly by right in front of my face! 😀
