Observation date: April 15, 2022
Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Lots of these out and about, especially around the banks of Chicorica Creek. At first I thought it was a butterfly. The way it perches with wings open was deceptive, but there are no clubs on the ends of the antennae, and they are also slightly feathered. It took me a while to find a good ID, but I think Litocala sexsignata is a good guess.
