Field Notes

Description:

Not sure which one this is. I know it isn't the Clear wing variety. I had 8 of them at once all over my Cleome. Could only manage to capture two in my images due to their rapid movements.

Habitat:

Flowers

Notes:

Surprised at the large amount of Moths that visited my flowers all at once that night.
