I returned from Reno very early this morning and rain followed me all across the Midwest to Maryland. Many flight delays and re-routes because of it. Rain predicted for next 2-3 days. Canon 180mm Macro- Canon 5DSr

Yes they do Eric! The giant lotus ponds were filled with thousands of them in bloom and awaiting bloom.

Her mate was NOT happy I was photographing his mate Ted! He was squaking and flying around me as I took the image(s).

Thanks Douglas!
I did not know that the "grasshopper catcher" was a female RWBB. Glad members educated me! Does explain why the male was squaking at me and flying all around me. The nest must have been near. This was a "growing pond" for Giant Lotus plants. About a thousand were in full bloom.
Thanks!
