We played a song and dance all day until I had this little discussion with him. I said Listen bug, you let me take a few photo's of you I will leave you alone, I KNOW this is your stick and territory. He would move his jaws and every time I came in close with the camera he would follow me with his little beaty eyes and turn his head and fly at me and then go around me !I I would jump back, being afraid of bugs that I am. BUT I stayed brave, I kept focused on the stick because I knew he would fly right back to it. We played this game for like a hour. He was at the same place last week also, so I know we will become good friends this summer. LOL
Kimi I thought of you when I was taking his photo and he kept trying to eat my face off!!
