Field Notes

Description:

Small pincers on the front of its mouth and a surprisingly small body as compared to the size and length of its wings.

Notes:

Just wanted to know what this thing is. I was sitting in the car at a gas station in Dayton, Ohio and it flew through the windows and landed on my nose!
