Acutalis, I believe - Acutalis

Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida, USA
July 14, 2006
Size: ~4mm head to wingtip

I've been watching this for a couple of days on a Snow Squarestem (Melanthera nivea) in my yard. Even when my pathetic attempts to get a good shot of it caused it to fly to a different nearby plant, it later returned to this one. Is there a relationship?

Looks like genus Angularis in the guide, but I can't decide whether it's A. brunnea or A. semicrema, or something different.
