Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Two and a half inches long. Very calm. It was on our patio door screen and when the cat pawed at it, it just skipped over an inch. Transferred easily onto iris flower when brushed against it. Warm, slightly overcast sunny day. We have a lot of phlox in the yard which may have been an attraction?
