Author's comments:
Una hembrita adulta muy pequeña comiendo nectar de flores epífitas de algarrobo en mi propiedad localizada en Zonda viejo que queda a unos 3 km a NO del Parque Provincial Sarmiento, San Juan. Vivo en un sector que protegemos (8 has) y está lleno de plantas y animales nativos. Parecía realmente un insecto, las alitas en vuelo parecían transparentes. Esto ocurrió el 26 de setiembre (2026) a las 10:00 de la mañana, estaba soleado, y la temperatura era de unos 20 grados.
