Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found this on the side of the road, so not sure of host plants. It was a hot, humid day, but was in the upper 70’s when found. Update…I saw another one in the same area today 7-20-22. This time I noticed a large spike on his rear end. Adding more pictures.
