 Funny thing, I decided to take the camcorder outdoors and record some
of the flowers for next years reference. As I was taping a couple of
those hummingbird moths were flying tail to tail joined in the love
dance. I saw them through the lense and as I am narating it I say!      
Oh well they have disappeared from view, can't see where they went.
Later when I played it back I saw the camera caught them drifting into a
plant. I wish I had seen where they went then so I could have had a
closer look. It just sounded funny as I say that and the camera is right
on them. I think I need new glasses!
