Day 130: adult - Siphanta acuta
Alameda County, California, USA
February 24, 2012
Size: See comment
The adult emerged last night or early this morning. This is the specimen shown for Day 119, the first to complete development. Length from "nose" to upper wingtip is 8.9 mm; as end of abdomen wasn't visible, I couldn't measure body length.
