HANGING ON!
Flew and lit on a diagonal twig
A mighty gust was almost
too much for her.
She managed to hang on, looked like a kid on the money bars.

Tropical Leafwing on a Windy Day
Arroya Colorado Hugh Ramsey Park was hot and very windy in the afternoon of the 18th of March, very green compared to two years ago. Here is a Tropical Leafwing hanging on to dear life/twig. When the Leafwing's wings are closed, it looks like a dried leaf, hence the name. When it opens out or it is backlit the bright interior shows. The female has the patterns but the male is plain orange.
