Coordinator notes: Nice one!! Fairly far west of any other records for Kansas, but I would not consider this a range extension west nor a stray as there are records of this species from west central NE & western area of TX in the panhandle which would be in a north/south range line thru Kansas. I believe there are few collectors which submit images of species from the western part of Kansas, and other species rarely recorded or new ones should be expected which are resident to state. Thank you! JAMES STEEN
