Observation date: August 19, 2014
Submitted by: Mahou Sloth
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It's a sunny and hot summer day. I found it stuck under someone's door, but luckily I got it out without harm. It was very docile and perched on my hand for quite a while. After a few minutes it flew away into the forest behind our house. :)
