Cimbicid - Zaraea

Cimbicid - Zaraea
fayetteville, washington County, Arkansas, USA
March 30, 2007
Size: ~15mm
i do not think these are of one individual... there were about 10, males i believe, chasing each other about, and there was no way to keep up with who was who... that being said i can unlink them if needed.

looks close to Z. americana, but i have not been able to find descriptions or pictures of kennicotti or inflatus (Z. lonicerae ruled out).

honeysuckle
i feel pretty good about calling the honeysuckle Lonicera sempervirens... for what that is worth.
