Scroll about halfway down
this page to the image of Mesquite stinger (Norape tenera) and see what you think. Another about halfway down this page.

Thanks guys -
I think you found it. I discovered more of these (several 20-35 individuals) 15 mi E. of Tucson feeding on Acacia greggii - Catclaw Acacia. Guess there all pretty active around here now. Don't know how you do it!
