From Kengi, who relates a common photographic problem – you spend ages stalking an elusive critter, finally get that shot, and afterwards, they all show up in force.
After two weeks of not being able to get a shot of the one, they can’t stop posing for me now. You know how that goes. Part of it is, that for those two weeks, there was only one cicada hawk around. Then there were four. This morning there were at least six or more.
They are definitely just like hummingbirds. They spend more time and energy chasing each other around than they do feeding. A giant field of flowers, but they all want the same corner. They were all buzzing around me as I took the pictures.
