pic is a tad blurry. it was sitting on this mexican sunflower for quite a while on a rainy kinda day. the one minute i looked away it disappeared- i assume it somehow flew though studying it w/ my own eyes i couldnt tell what was what. it looks almost moth like in away but seemed to have a hard exoskelaton though i didnt touch it. ...havent seen it again.

i live in the city and i'm the only one in my neighborhood w/ any sort of yard (as small as mine is) so i have no idea where it came from. i have sunflowers, and cukes,tomatoe plants in my teeny yard maybe all my plants attracted itfrom a near by park?

anyone know what it is?
