Thanks for the heads up.  I will have to see if they fly after this rain stops.

I don't recall seeing them around me before, but I will keep my eyes open.

What is your temperature?

What is your weather like?  Solid sun or some clouds?  Just after or before a rain?

It was in the Mid 80s yesterday when I found her. It was a mix of clouds with "pop-up" showers/storms throughout the day. I found her just before a small shower passed through.
