Observation notes: It was sighted on a bright, sunny, hot day on July 10th 2013, at 1:10 in the afternoon . It was on the exterior, lower wall board on my covered, small, front porch. It was very still with no motion, except the occasional antenna movement. It did not appear afraid of me or the camera. Visited for approximately 1 hour & was not near any plant host, that I am aware of. I've never seen one before or since. It is beautiful with a gorgeous pattern over its entire body.
