These creatures covered the azalea bush in front of our house today. I was able to get close enough to this one to go with super macro:

I would never dare to get so close . . . nice shot.Thanks, Rod. Sometimes the quest for that killer shot gets in the way of common sense. :confused:

I did have one take exception to my closeness, and kept charging me and backing me up for about 15 feet. So far, though, if I respect their territory, they go about their business.
