Submitted by: Lora Keiser
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: There are several wild Mountain Azaleas in my yard. It is at our lake house, with a lake on one side and woods on the other side. It was a sunny afternoon. I heard a buzzing sound and thought it might be a bee. I noticed there were two of these moths flying around the Mountain Azaleas much like a hummingbird would do.
