I was casually photographing wild California poppies on a hillside and discovered a resting fly with apparently nothing to do! So I showed my grandson how one could even catch innocent flies on a flower with just a cell phone camera!

So, there, small but I got it! As I took another just to be sure, there was a blur and I thought, hmm, a partner arrived and tgeycare mating!

Thanks!

I am fascinated by the fact that I was so wrong as to what was going on!

Also the benefit of enquiry!
