This orange beauty visited me and Brian in the garden in Grass Valley. Lee, my mother in law (I'm lucky, I have two), has an amazing garden, and this little guy was a fan of her landscape. He would politely pose atop this finial for Brian, fly off for a moment, and then return for a couple more close-ups. He's ready for America's Next Top Insect Model.
The camera really loves that color he's wearing, don't you think?

it's amazing. right?
I was so thrilled that the pictures turned out, because it was such an amazing sight. I couldn't believe that it kept coming back, and sitting there so nicely for the pictures. it was such a thrill! My heart was in my throat.
That is REAL?! I though the was a little garden ornament.
Incredible!
