Submitted by: MaeMae
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Every summer beginning in mid July through late September, I have exactly ONE of these beauties reside in my front garden. Each one is identical to the one from the previous summer. It flutters up and down the block, but only comes to rest on this specific plant. I have never seen two of its kind around my home at the same time.
