I always love it when they have a treat! Not sure I've seen this species before, but it sure is a beauty!

What a great capture. That won't slide down quite as easy as a fish! I'd like to see a vert version also.

Beautifully captured Ofer and what timing !!!! Excellent lighting, detail and of course the insect is a great bonus. Wonderful image and many thanks for sharing.
