    I've been known to re-position them in my garden at times for a better view...then they just sit there and stare at me. :D Have yet to see one this year.

    Sure hope to see one this year.
    I haven't seen one this year either. One got in our trash can last year and refused to come out. Left the cover up for several hours, but he/she wouldn't come on on their own. When I tried to get it to crawl on my finger it just went further down to where I couldn't reach. I finely got it to crawl onto a stick. He/she looked much more in their element sitting on our Mexican Bird of Paradise bush.

    i like them
    nice capture troy-they are rather personable and almost seem to have personalities-nothing to be afraid of-they dont have venom and can't really bite anything but other insects-if i was an insect i would be very afraid
