Fantastic moments!. Cornell Lab is my favourite resource 🙂
Yes, they are amazing! Thanks, Carmen
Thank you for sharing these incredible moments, Monica. Sorry for the delay in my reply, the new WP Reader is missing many notifications.
No apologies necessary, Carmen – I am too intermittent a responder on WP but love it
Very comical, but I think they may find humans’ doubly so. All that hair-flicking, eyelash-batting, stomach-sucking… 😉
Just so, BB. I especially like the “stomach-sucking” description.
