Submitted by: Harry Forbes
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I'm live in TX and am visiting here in Cedar City UT. I see these in my backyard and almost everywhere I go. Compared to the Frits, this is a piece of cake. Feeding on flowers. Really hot and sunny. Elevation was 7182 and it was still hot as hades. This little patch of flowers was good to me, though.
