Submitted by: LDC
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found 7 of these, each on separate snapdragon plants, eating. A few were smaller than others, but all were pretty close in size. It was 80 plus degrees, but in the shade. The only other plant in the immediate area is common milkweed. Then, maybe 10 feet away, is a small butterfly weed, then black-eyed susans and hydrangea.
