Observation notes: I live in Luzerne County and spotted this little girl on my door. I found what it is on the internet and found it odd since I have no red maple trees anywhere near me.Thought I should register her.The weather is around 70 degrees and it is just sitting on the metal park of my storm door.It is alive as I touched it's wings,it seems to be just hanging out.
