Thanks for your kind words, Charlie. They prefer to stay back in the
foliage, so I consider myself lucky to find a few clear shots.

Nice catch, Jim. In my experience they are always on the move. So to catch
them, particularly in flagrante delicto, is a testament to your patience.

The first thing I saw this morning was a pair of Clearwing Moths joined
in mating. The pair were moving through the foliage while coupled, and
finally reached a point where I could get a photo. The larger, more
colorful one is the female.

Afterward, they rested for a bit.

Later, I found the female back a work.

These were shot with the lens almost wide open, to try to isolate the
critter from the foliage. It's still a work in progress.
