Observation date: June 19, 2013
Submitted by: ddodd
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: 13.5 mm in length
Status: Resident
Verified by: stomlins701
Verified date: January 24, 2014
Coordinator notes: The markings are light on this specimen, but even so the "X" across the wings in this position is unmistakable and there is one dark "blob" on each wing, whose location is consistent on all the photos on MPG and bugguide.net. There is a photo on MPG taken by Carol Wolf of one specimen that looks very much like the sighting photo.
