Field Notes

Description:

Pure white...a shimmery, silvery, satiny, sheen present. A touch of green in the body.

Habitat:

On the wall of my house...it must have flown in when the door to the rooftop terrace was open...it disappeared after a few hours. It was sitting on a white wall and was practically invisible.
