This young guy showed up today and was trying to get in one of the gourds around 11:30. He did not stay long but was very interested in a gourd. Maybe he'll be back tomorrow. Have a good week everyone!

Great photo Jose!
He is a dark subbie.
Kind of reminds me of the "early bloomers" - the boys that could already grow a beard in jr. high.
I wished I had been an early bloomer :???:

Thanks Matt!

YAY! He decided to stay! The other ASY male in this photo decided to stay also. Now if only they could find mates! Where are the females?
