  The E. strigalis I have seen around here have had long streaks/ dashes rather than muddy spots like this one.Also, not enough marks below the PM line on this one for that ID (I don't think)? Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

      I'm convinced ;). I was just wondering in case it was a worn specimen. Posted 4 years ago
