This is when you should expect to see them. They eclose, mate, the female lays eggs and the adults die. The eggs overwinter and hatch in the spring. I've seen a few flying here in past years but I've never seen one holding still.

I had never seen one before and was very surprised that it was here this late and in perfect condition. Yesterday was a decently mild date here and we have had similar days in the last week with only one day of freezing a little over a week ago. Great to see this beauty. J. N.
