Submitted by: marymarywyb
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Female was found in very windy, rainy conditions in the grassy courtyard of my apartment complex. Her wings were moving slightly, so I moved her to a dry spot on the patio behind a plant. She has since become more lively, but is staying on the patio.
