Agreed
Genus needs to be reviewed, so no species IDs are forthcoming.

Thanks all
Move or frass?

Your call.
Argument for frass: Images aren't sharp, combined with current state of genus, mean ID to species won't be available in the foreseeable future.

Argument against frass: We have very few posts from Texas and none for this month.
