Holcocephala
Puccoon Prairie, Chichaqua Bottoms Greenbelt, Story County, Iowa, USA
July 30, 2011
Size: 4 mm
After learning to recognize these, I found several. This image replaces an earlier one that was not quite as sharp. Size estimated--these are tiny.
Additional frames added 2019.
This is either H. abdominalis or H. fusca.
