Hilarious commentary, Phil. Does make one wonder what they're 'thinking' as they go on their way, though. Nice shots, BTW. These with the MP-E?

Great series Phil, following the action with an MP-E is never easy yet you have made it look as if it is, good work.

It had probably only planned a short hop!

It looks like Desoria violacea.
