Things often don't go the way you plan them, do they?

This morning I had images of borage amongst the vines in Tuscany to share on the blog I've been keeping daily. So I went outside to capture the image of that pretty pink borage. Thought it would be a better image with the early morning dew on it.

It's quiet, not a breath of wind, and very early ... even the birds seem to have slept in this morning. I see something move out of the corner of my eye and think "I must have disturbed a large insect". Zoom in to capture that pink borage ... hardly any dew this morning ... never mind. Still be a nice image. Oh oh ... the movement again. Same place. Huh? So I turn and give the spot my full attention. Huh? Shake my head. Look more closely. Huh?

Quick trip inside to get my camera that allows me to video the action. And then a quick tutorial on how to get a video onto ATP. And here is what I saw. Never seen anything like it before. Any ideas?

The clip is about a minute in length to give an idea of the activity which was consistently varied. The most significant movement is at about the 46 second mark.
