Southern Emerald - Synchlora frondaria

Southern Emerald - Synchlora frondaria
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
This was at our back porch light sometime in 2004. Have seen caterpillars in our front yard compatible with this species, such as this one from our window-box Lantana.

Originally misidentified as a Wavy-lined Emerald (S. aerata). ID correction suggested by Tony Gallucci, confirmed by Charles Bordelon.

cropping
Here's another image where the top or bottom third (or left or right third) could easily be cropped away without removing any useful imformation and it would really help especially when viewing the thumbnail. Just a suggestion.
