Syngamia florella

Observation date: May 12, 2019
Submitted by: Beds For Butterflies
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: First sighting in 15 years of living here. Very small and fast but does appreciate the bidens alba and landed for short periods to nectar. Many host and nectars on property. I know the tail should be a clue but I still can not ID.
