Field Notes

Description:

Female of Common Mormon mimicking the Common Rose.

Habitat:

Home backyard. Feeding on Night-flowering Jasmine (pic #5) and another unknown flower (pic #1 and #2).

Notes:

It was pretty hard to get a clear shot of this one because it doesn't stop fluttering even while it's feeding.
