User's notes

So tiny! And landed only for a few moments and was then hovering again. And not like a blue banded bee - hovering erratically making it near impossible to get a photo in flight. Stripes looked well defined when flying, but when landed less so. Fuzzy underneath. The plant was 10cm tall.
