Kelsey-thank you for this update with confirmation of my submission as being Allograpta obliqua - Female. The image with two drawing's is an excellent teaching tool to document the difference between "oblique and exotica". Thank you!

Thanks to BugGuide I have documented seven Syrphidae species that serve as so important biological controls of aphids on our eight species of milkweed (Asclepias sps) (Project Monarch Health).
