They're awesome! I was lucky enough to see one once.

Most years I will see at least one and one year I saw both a large and small one (male & female?).
They are hard to get good pics of, plus looks like you were working in low light, so congrats!

Do you see them often?

I saw one once too. Really interesting bug.

I've seen one too - it used to come to the butterfly bush in our last house.

There were dozens of them out there last night.

They may not be colourful but they are impressive to watch and they do make a "humming" sound.
