Completely immersed in its flower, only the back part visible. Did not move or seem to notice me before I coaxed it out from the flower to see if it was alive. Even then it seemed quite unafraid. There were at least two more that looked the same, each on their own flower.

Yes, would have believed that 😊 But these were spotted in the late afternoon... Afternoon nap?
