Hi Ken
Margo meant to upload a 3rd image for the series here...so I edited this post and replaced the previous duplicate image with the intended image you now see above. I also linked the images, as they are indeed all the same individual.

I'm indirectly responsible for the confusion here, since I suggested to Margo that she upload this 3rd image. I did so because this image gives more wing venation detail, which I believe may be helpful in getting to subfamily, based on my initial efforts at ID using Goulet(1).

Thanks for your efforts here :-)

 
This one had my head spinning.
Glad you were able to sort it out. :)
