We had one of those on our back wall - took off as I was changing to my macro lens.

Amazing Critter.

Thanks for sharing.

I caught one of them a few weeks ago. I only got to take a photo of it in flight as it started to fly when i took the camera out.

frog food

I found one in my garage also and was going to feed it to a Green Tree Frog but I had a change of heart and let it out and gave them woodies instead.
