Submitted by: dawittrock2231
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Near a floodlight on my deck. I don't see the faint black patterning on A. dubitans that shows up on some photos of A. cogitata. See https://bugguide.net/node/view/1910906/bgimage. This might be a lighting issue, I can't find this described for either species.
