sand
Is it a curious coincidence? Both photos in BugGuide of this subspecies were taken on sand.

 
Yes.
You know how it can get here during spring.

I am not sure what red shifted means. If refering to the color, this is exactly how this specimen appeared in natural light.
Thanks for the ID,

Coelidia olitoria floridana
The photo is red-shifted; this subspecies is orange-tan.
