Spent forever trying to get a photo of this guy, thinking it was the newly split, range-restricted Oxypogon stuebelii, but no such luck... Still a nice hummer, and I'll be back for the other one! Posted 9 years ago

    Haha thanks! What can I say, I've always liked to put names on things I saw. It is of course easier with some groups than others (Hymenopterans for example...) Posted 9 years ago

      I've been making fun of adult people following the Pokemon Go hype, but I'm starting to realize I've been doing the same thing for years, only with real creatures :) Posted 9 years ago
