I never saw one of these or even heard of one before. It's not a very good shot because i was using my 100-400 lens .My wife and I were out trying to get some shots of an osprey when she spotted this thing flying around a flower. I had about five seconds to get off a shot before it flew away.

It is a good shot, because those things are very difficult to capture. Nice work.
