We've had a pair in the process of procreation on a newly-planted boxwood in our front yard all day today. This is the male:

One of my faves, Jim. Well done.

Very well concealed. Most people would walk right by it and never even see it. Well done Jim.

Wow, never seen one of those before.

I've seen them before in a butterfly house.
But it must be very nice to have them in the garden.

Great pictures

Thanks, all, for the kind remarks. My wife discovered these as she went out to work on the flower beds early yesterday. They stayed in the same spot all day long, but were gone today.
