But when I watched it closely, it didn't seem to a bee. It was like a bird. I didn't know what type of bird is it.It is most similar to the first picture and those I captured by camera. However, it delighted me because it is rare in Bangladesh.Alamgir Hossainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740169848320444668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478470125662290860.post-46050507246892051522010-08-23T07:39:16.320-04:002010-08-23T07:39:16.320-04:00Sadly this isn't my picture but the internet&#...Sadly this isn't my picture but the internet's.

I saw one once in our Holland garden (attracted to the milkweeds we always left to flower)and it didn't let me get close, and I recall it was mostly brown/dull colors compared to this beauty.<br />KathyKat&Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774578019581804382noreply@blogger.com
