A regular visitor at my home in Gainesville. Check out mine and others postings on iNaturalist! Becoming more common and I'll have details soon about life history, I'll include this observation.

"Becoming more common" - yes. The species is clearly on the move. May be established in our part of the panhandle. I am hoping for others at my lights next Spring.
