I'm pretty sure of this ID, but wanted to check. I don't have many photos of it, so I hope it's recognizable from this. I thought the image was pretty good and wanted to contribute it.

Derek,
You've added March for Alabama on BG. BTW I "Liked" your FB :)

Thanks
Thanks for the Like, Robert!

Are you saying that this is a first sighting of L. venusta in Alabama this year (so far as has been reported to BG)?
