Heard a loud buzzing and looked up to see this fella hanging on to a kitchen light. I didn't have long so it was a bit of a point and shoot! I love the detail in the wings though....

Thanks - why can I never find one perching on some reeds on the waters edge waiting for me to come along with my camera?! They just don't get it!! :)

Hope he didn't end up in your meal!

Luckily no - He spent 30 secs in a litre glass until I managed to get him/her outside!
