Sitting on my covered porch, I just happened to notice this little guy on a camellia about 3 ft behind the glider where I am. He stayed just long enough for me to reach my phone and get one shot.

Took me a while.
Terrific shot.

noticing that they were setting buds.
I've seen this little guy--or his friend --running along the fence or climbing the drain pipes. So my eye is accustomed to spotting him.

Thanks for sharing this photo and you certainly were quick on the draw!

Couldn't see him at all. So I scrolled down to read the replies, then scrolled back up for another look. And *POOF* there he was! It was as if he'd been hiding before and then decided to come back out.
Cute little critter, nice shot.
