Description This poor little guy was trying really hard to climb to the top of an Elephant Ear leaf. The wind was blowing fairly hard and he just kept sliding back to the bottom. I held the leaf still, took a few shots, then put my hand out for it to climb on. It didn't stay on my hand more than a few seconds and then flew off in the direction it had been trying to go.
