Milkweed Locust
Milkweed Locust/Phymateus viridipes
One can only see the colours when they fly, so managed to capture one and told him to open up the wings...and he did.. I should have lifted the camera a bit to get the tip of the wing as well and focus could have been better, but operating the camera with one hand and other arm stretched out makes things a bit awkward, but well, that's after talk....it flew off happily after the shoot...
