Very excellent page about this species on UF's Dept' of Entomology site. Too much good stuff to pick and choose, so I'm giving y'all the link to read it and look at the nice photos. :) http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/orn/...

Recently, I was squatting down taking a closeup shot of a moth and one of these guys jumped on the back of my neck on my camera strap! (I was like, "This strap sure feels weird and scratchy." It felt like fingernails!) That was unusual because they can't fly lol! I figure the experience drew us much closer.
