Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This creature was resting on the handle of a patio screen door on a cloudy morning after a heavy overnight rain. I gave the door a nudge thinking it would fly away but it fell to the ground and did not move for a few minutes. I think it must have already been injured somehow. It then lifted its wings and fluttered without moving from its position on the deck. When it began to crawl I managed to get it onto a piece of cardboard and carried it into a flowerbed. It settled into the dirt and again held still. I would like to ID the species.
