  1. Beautiful species, would not expect to see it in march :) Posted 8 years ago
    1. The very first time for me, never seen it before. And quite cold temperatures for the season, especially near the ocean where this was found. So tiny indeed, always interchanging lenses and extensions during the afternoon, tough job! :) Posted 8 years ago
