Observation date: July 26, 2023
Submitted by: Kifallang
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: My cat discovered this beauty first, but I was fortunate to be able to capture it before it was harmed and release it while containing my cat. It flew away into the calm night air, I assume happily, after its near-catastrophic adventure.
