Thanks Bill. I didn't know it was a gal. I will have to check it out to see what the males look like. You are right, they are not easy to photograph!

I love these little gals! They are much prettier than the males. They don't sit to well though, do they? At least not the ones I have photographed. Nice shots Stephanie!
