  I found a genus, Homosetia. I've found no match on BugGuide yet. This could be among some of the undescribed species O_O

    Nice! I was looking at that genus too. It seems close, right?! It'd be awesome if it was a new species <3. Told ya that you're going to be my famous twinsie! Posted 6 years ago

      PFFFT! ;) You are goofy!
      
      But, yes, I'd be excited about a new species! I would probably have to capture one for study though, no? Posted 6 years ago

      Interesting similarities! Thanks for your help! <3
      
      An expert on BugGuide just recently confirmed as Homosetia sp., so I'm waiting to see if anyone else has any input. It is probably one of the unidentified species of the genus (which are many). Posted 6 years ago
