Submitted by: Esmills
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This is for the insect I submitted a few minutes ago—#1328552. I am hoping that the photo will come through this time. It was on the side of a wall in rainy weather. It was about 3” in length, but didn’t open its wings so I’m not sure of its width.
