  Thanks...I shared it on iNat and probably will on BugGuide too to see if I can get to species, but it doesn't seem likely. Posted 3 years ago

    Although, I think Hedychrum violaceum is possible. Many records in my state stay at genus level. Posted 3 years ago

      Yep same here. Very tough to go to species. Won't stop us enjoying them though. Posted 3 years ago
