Didn’t even know such a thing existed. At first I thought it was a baby hummingbird until I got closer and saw the fur and antennae.
Lokisan, Beautiful shot considering how fast they move.
Alchemy, 
Beautiful shot. We get to see them around where I live luckily.
hutchmcnugget, Is this an example or convergent evolution or mimicry? Or something else I’m not aware of?
Evil_Shrubbery, Yes (convergent part), but I would say that it’s more like the bird(s) one is converging to take the classic infect job
jrwperformance, 
Hover shrimp.
Evil_Shrubbery, Lol, I don’t know why but I feel kinda bad for laughing at that, poor cute non-dinosaur birb
Hubi, 
I love these little guys, they were all over our garden when I was a kid. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen one unfortunately :(
yenahmik, Absolutely beautiful shot! It’s stunning.
laurel, 
Holy shit this is amazing. Stunning capture too! What did you use to ID?
Lowburn, 
Thanks, I used Google Lens to reverse image search and then cross referenced the results with my state’s biodiversity page.
