Another beauty from the Syrphid king!
Excellent wings, especially considering the white background. Should I ever come across this species this will make identification much easier!

Thanks, Martin, for your confirmation
and, equally or better, the new species page.

I believe this is Allograpta
I believe this is Allograpta exotica... a new species for the guide :)

Great! Thanks.
I think edward was puzzling over one of these, too. It moved like Allograpta, but was marked differently than any I'd seen.

After waiting a bit to see if anyone else weighs in, I'll apply for a new guide page.

Quickly caught.
And new, nonetheless.

I will pass on words of advise that I received from Eric more than once:

"Not so fast, Ron." (Feel free to substitute Joe.)
