coridxnDescription
30’c part Sun part cloud light breeze.
I was thinking anise because of black shoulder patches (first pic) and black marking on underwing (second pic), relatively pale yellow, and body appears mostly black (second pic).
Flew by as I was being in the backyard, bumped into the fence and landed back on sidewalk. By the time I grabbed my camera I’d lost track of it so pics are quite poor quality as it flew up and through a bush at the back of the yard and away.
