💡 Everyday Comparisons for Size, Mass & Speed

💡 Along grassy edges or weedy patches around forests, it can be seen flying low to visit daisy fleabane and self-heal flowers (National List of Species of Korea).
💡 Because adults emerge in May and remain visible until late autumn, you can encounter them from spring walks to late-autumn country paths (National List of Species of Korea: emerging in May to late autumn).
