Poecilanthrax nigripennis? I&#039;m pretty sure this ID is correct. Window wings are smoky, and the postpronotum is a reddish hue (differentiates this species from P. alcyon). <br />

 Several of these have been at the edge of our hickory-oak forest. They are often found resting on leaves and on hay (in our future garden).  Geotagged,Poecilanthrax nigripennis,Spring,United States Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
