good find

Thank you very much, John! Actually, the critter found me and the sunflower I was photographing. I certainly never expected it to have such an impressive name!

Take a look through the Anthidiini, and see what you think. I couldn't find an exact match, but I suspect yours is in there somewhere.

Dr. Ascher will let you know if I'm anywhere in the ballpark.

Thanks, Ken, those look like at least cousins!
