Cupedid - Cupes capitatus

Cupedid - Cupes capitatus
Loudon, Merrimack County, New Hampshire, USA
August 18, 2011
Size: 8 mm
Glad to encounter this other member of Cupedidae in my area before I make my permanent exit for Ecuador. I recognized it immediately when it came to visit as I was loading my shipping container. It had landed on a spruce 2x4. I put it on the leaf as a better (darker) photo background. In my experience Tenom*erga ci*nerea is much more prevalent.
