Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: When I walked away from the rain garden, it
I may have disturbed it into flight. It landed on my car right below the windshield wipers. Tough to photograph the full view. It flew away when I reached to lift the wiper. A warm, sunny morning and car was parked in shade. Tip of abdomen curls up. Inside corners of lower wings lift up against the abdomen. Wings spread out like a cape.
