Submitted by: krancmm
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Observed whizzing around, erratic flight around concrete patio. Came to rest on a low twig, almost on the ground, in shade at 12:34 (1st photo). It moved about 2m to full sun on concrete at 12:38 and left at 12:40. Second photo is to inquire if the orange-ish color on the forewing is the costal fold that holds the male scent scales. Didn't observe any color ring on lower abdomen that would signify a female. Weather: Sunny, light breeze, 90ºF, 60% humidity, 75.7º dewpoint.
