Description These guys love sunny open patches in the woods.  As they fly and the sunlight hits them they look like fairies.  Enchanting!

Yup.  Clumsy on the ground, too.  But graceful in the air.

I love these guys! I don't see them very often. Have you ever watched them courting? The male kills a small insect and offers it to the female as a nuptial gift; she eats it while they mate.

Uses front four legs to hold on and dangles the hind legs.
Fascinating...
