Lovely photo
which I've moved to the guide. You may not know that you can post directly to species image pages when you are confident of the ID - details are in Help/images. Please be sure to check adult on the submission form for butterflies and moths, or in fact for any insect you know is an adult, as we may get the ability to search by adult/immature for other orders in the future. I have edited this one.

Looking forward to seeing more of your images. Welcome to BugGuide!
