Field Notes

Description:

About 1.25 inches long - this one was missing the long tails on its wings.

Habitat:

Flower garden near hay pasture.

Notes:

I would have had a lot of trouble identifying this individual since its wings were damaged, but fortunately some undamaged ones were with it, so I was able to figure it out!
