I noticed them last friday, Oct 8, while I was

working around in my garden...It was in the evening, they were lighting on the branches of the
pecan tree and it was just about dark, so I figured they were
stopping for nightfall... I

see some everyday.. my neighbor has a chain

link fence about 20 feet that is covered in a flowering

vine, they are usually on those flowers every afternoon.
