It’s like clash of the Titans! What a shot - how would we ever see such a thing, in such detail, without your eye and camera?! Thanks again Rick! I love your blog– it is SO classy and revealing!

Thanks, Deb. They are amazing to watch, and they move incredibly fast.

So much energy (and ferocity) in those little bodies.

Yes, so much energy spent competing and fighting with each other, just like us.
