Synanthedon species possibly on milkweed leaf - Synanthedon bibionipennis
6 miles NW Lyons, CO, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
July 5, 2013
Size: BL~12 mm, CFW less than 8
Synanthedon or another genus in the sesiid group? It was taken on a milkweed leaf, seemed to be sleeping since our photography did not bother it.
The abdomen seems a little heavier that in some I have seen. Any help is much appreciated.
