God knew what he was doing on this one!! What a fasinating insect. I got to hold one the other day. He seemed to be as interested in me as I was him! As long as no one made any sudden moves, he stayed still or swayed slightly. But the more movement we made the more he swayed, then off he flew. Thank you Lord.
