    You make it look easy, but this really is a super shot! Posted 4 years ago

      This one was a relatively cooperative subject - stayed put for a long time, though not super still. That did give me the opportunity to take lots of views for BugGuide though - hopefully I'll get a further classification. Posted 4 years ago

    Love this shot! And, I agree with your tentative Tetanocera sp. ID. Maybe it's Tetanocera plebeja? But, I'm not sure. Posted 4 years ago

      I did get view of the wing pattern. It's a bit different than that one, but certainly looks like a close relative.

        Oh, cool! I can't say that it's a match, either. Close, though. Posted 4 years ago
