Terrific stop action photo - never seen one rest on a petal before.

Excellent catch, Hank. Amazing how the tremendous speed of those wings are able to hold it there for an indefinite period.

I am certainly not a professional Don, but I agree with you that it is probably a young male.

Nice image Hank.
I have seen them do that before.
They are so nice to watch.
