I'm a biology nerd, naturalist, and wildlife conservationist in the Appalachian foothills of the southeastern United States. While I am interested mostly in the identification and photography of plants, fungi, and insects--I enjoy taking advantage of and learning from any opportunity that Nature provides me!

      It is very close, Ferdy (definitely closely related), but notice that the orange markings here merge together at several points while they don't on E. rubra (much more clear separation). This entire tribe is pretty tricky at times!

      Spectacular! I'm envious of your microscope/camera setup! My scope is broken, and I haven't had the energy/funds to get a new one.
