Visualize.....multi tasking out in the yard and finding this beautiful creature, dropping everything your doing and running to get the camera!!! LOL

Have never in my life saw one of these before, I'm in Southwestern Ontario Canada. Pretty sure I identified it correctly, but if not someone please correct me.

This one probably only had a wing span of close to two inches, but I read that they can reach up to 4/12 inches....that would be a sight to see!!

Hope you enjoy

I found one of those at work one day last year. I think I still have a photo but I'll have to check. I dropped everything and ran for the camera too Smile
