Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: There is another view of this individual at this link on my Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rbinv/4930120234/in/set-72157626282562675/ This little guy flew up the mountain, about 50 meters or more from the wet area, to nectar on a Butterfly Bush. Earlier in the week I had seen some of his buddies in close proximity to some very small streams in the area. I am submitting this record because I did not see a record for this species on the Gilmer County List.
