Thanks - they are tiny, and the patterns and hairs amazing. Several varieties are frequent visitors.

You did a wonderful job shooting these elusive butterflies and bees, quixdraw.
Since you've been a member on UHH for a long time, you might remember Treepusher. If I asked you this previously - sorry. He posted entertaining stories and portraits of his friend and model, Pocahontas. If you know what's happened to him, I would appreciate it if you let me know.

Thanks so much! Unfortunately, though I do recall him - I have no info on him, I have been here and gone episodically over the years.
