Field Notes
Description:
Around an inch and a half from wing tips, with a fringe of yellow at the edge of the wings. Never saw the underside as it flew.
Habitat:
Photographed it in my garden.
Notes:
It was late afternoon and had just rained. I thought it was a leaf, until I noticed a symmetry. When it flew, there seems to have been a yellow coloring under. As a prime rule for "Project Noah" is "Thou Shalt Not Kill," I have no idea what it looks like, on the round. I guess the coloring is a fine camouflage, but it had settled on a white gate. If it was on a leaf or the trunk of a tree, I would never have noticed it.
