Submitted by: GinaT
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: A hot day, very humid. This is one I've never seen before, assuming it is a moth. This very tiny visitor is on a milkweed leaf. The best I can determine is a chickweed geometer. It's coloring is yellowish and reddish, with zig zag markings, very interesting. To show how small it is, that is a monarch egg to its left.
