How cool, this matte black appearance. It almost seems made out of metal. Posted 3 years ago

  I was thinking that it must have gotten into your special black paint ;). Posted 3 years ago

      Does it? I was thinking the thorax because its so unreflective. Posted 3 years ago

  Thank you! It kept leaving and returning to the same perch over and over. Posted 3 years ago

  Thanks David! I always struggle with them and often skip trying to photograph them. I was lucky with this one though because it kept returning to the same perch and I was able to get really close to it. Posted 3 years ago
