Submitted by: CrescentWing34
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Fluttered up from beneath the waystations vegetation around the entrance and then rested on a plant. Weather was pleasant with temperatures ranging from 70˚ to 85˚ until about 2:00PM, when the heat and humidity finally began to roast everything. By this point, the temperature was surpassing 90˚. However, during my time at Blendon, the sky remained mostly sunny with only one or two small clouds in the area.
