This guy flew right past me while I was weeding and set up on some iris leaves. I re-located him to a Hot Papaya Coneflower and he sat there for a very long time. Their host plants include pentas which I have in my garden, but mine are red and would clash with his brown and orange. He may be the first of his species to ever find himself on a coneflower!
