Is this Banasa spp? It doesn't match the few species in BG, but body/head shape look very similar.

yes, Banasa sp.
('spp.' is plural, can't be applied to a single individual)
i see in this one nothing inconsistent with B. dimiata

Banasa
Thanks for your help. All of the B. dimiata on here had way more green than mine, but it looks like it is variable. Do you think I can move it to species page, or just genus. Either way, it's the first Colorado data point. By the way, thanks for the clarification of sp vs spp. I probably learned that somewhere along the line, but forgot.
