unknown flower winged bug - Atteva aurea
Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA
Size: 1/2 "to 3/4" ish long
don't know a thing about this guy, other than he always came around when I was lighting incence or candles, and that i had never seen anything like him in Chicago. I found him dead in my apartment and kept him to mount, his wings have kept their color perfectly.
