Staphylus mazans

Observation date: November 07, 2022
Submitted by: Robert Gorman
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: In main garden
Status: Resident
Verified by: jwileyrains
Verified date: January 03, 2023
Coordinator notes: Not an easy ID to make. I am fairly sure about this although I won't be surprised to hear from other coordinators that I'm wrong. I also thought this might be Staphylus hayhurstii but for the lack of a scalloped edge to the FW (also Cameron County seems a bit far south for hayhurstii).
