Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Landed in my phone while I was using it outside in our carport, sat for about a minute but his wings were fluttering/ like shaking constantly. Then few up and flew around the carport light, landed on the wall and sat for about 10 minutes and then just disappeared. First time I've ever seen one like that, my son looked it up online.
