A dreamy scene in the shadows...I wonder if they (that would be the flying insects) have read the news.

Been distracted lately...not much to show for little effort...thought this was kind of surreal.

I think this might be a bluewing butterfly. It never opened it's wings, so was hard to tell. This is one of the several butterfly species that rest facing downward on tree trunks.

......no mask required. He’s sitting on my finger!

This dragonfly was buzzing me while I watered in the greenhouse. I leave the door flap open during the day now to keep the heat more even inside. This little dude kept landing on the support cord, so I reached out and he climbed onto my finger. He did this no matter how many times he flew off and I reached for him. He’s a beautiful blue-purple colour and is the biggest dragonfly I’ve seen so far. I hope he hangs around.

A colourful Fly Friday to you all! Have a lovely weekend ahead Flickr friends 💚💙💛 HFDF
