Shiela,

Great photos! You even have a Question Mark on your hand at that! They are so skittish out here. We see maybe a handful to possibly a dozen during the year. Once they are engrossed in the brew or have consumed enough to fly silly they will stay put...but when they first appear you get to about a fifteen feet away and they spook.

Love that photo of them on the brew bottle!!! Same happens here too. I enjoy driving around the back pasture in the golf cart and stopping every now and then to see what lands. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to see them flying behind my cart...too funny!!!

Penne...the Malachite reminds me of key lime pie with whipped cream and drizzled chocolate :o) It has such a rich brown coloring that really contrasts with the lime green.

Here's another photo of one to show it's full glory.
