Pyrota - Pyrota akhurstiana
I 19 Reststop south of Green Valley, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
July 28, 2009
Size: 15mm
I doubt that this is akhurstiana. It's much smaller, the stripes are not as red and the head has less black. The proportions seemed different, too. P akhurstiana was around, too, and this one stood out as quite different
But maybe it's just a teneral
