Field Notes

Description:

I always see these insects, but I've never gotten close enough to see the amazing detail on their eyes! From just about any direction, there is a rainbow-colored "star" pointing at you! You can see this in all of the first 3 photos. The 4th photo is a close up of one of the wings. They have tiny little hairs on the veins!

Habitat:

Found in my shower; urban
