Location: Los Alamos, NM—no grass yard or garden, but next to Olive Canyon.
Time: 3:44
Weather: Partly cloudy. Humid, 77-degrees, calm. There’s a flash-flood warning, but so far, no storm clouds. NOAA reported 0.7" rain at Los Alamos Airport on 07/25.

It had ragged wings, but was flying well. Lit briefly on the butterfly bush at about 9’ before flying up over the roof of my 2-story house. I have petunias on my my deck—it didn’t seem interested. The neighbors have lilies, but the butterfly flew north toward scruffy little houses on my street without gardens or even nice yards.
