Submitted by: bananapeach
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: First noticed in early morning, it stayed in our partially enclosed deck area sitting on a broken piece of garden ornament and also on the 2x4 frame until mid-late afternoon, did not see it fly away. At one point I thought there was a second one flying about, but it flew off before I could get a photo of both specimens and confirm whether or not it was a different insect. One hanging basket of flowers close by with Blue Lobelia and Fushia's, only the lobelia's are currently blooming.
