These digital images were taken by Ray Bruun on Sunday, October
26, 2003 at Plum Valley Reservoir.
He wrote, "One of the pictures I took today was of a female Spotted
Spreadwing with a
small fly on its back, which I didn't notice until the picture was up on the
computer. The spreadwing left its perch and returned several times while I
was taking the shots, yet the fly remained.
