Thanks a lot @SuziBond ! I use NatureMapr in my role in Scouting, trying to get the older youth to use it on scouting activities, and for STEM and Environment badge work. Good to get the occassional more "interesting" sighting to stir up some enthusiasm amongst the Scouts, Venturers and Rovers.

This is the courtship behaviour of this species that you've managed to capture! Great shots of it.
