    I’ve never seen one…it’s really beautiful! How big is it, Dennis?

  • This one is 3-4 across. About the size of your palm… It’s still out there… I’ll get some more angles…

    lovely capture – and bravo on the capture – I have failed many times.

  • I had to bounce the flash on this dude… Now that it is full daylight, I’ll go see if I can get a really good closeup…
