Yes, certainly we have those, and I need to make more of an effort to find this one again. As I said, they are common in the NCSU collection. A lot of that, I think, dates from the Brimley's era in the early 20th century, and the environment has really changed in the area since then. (They were based in Raleigh, and did a lot of collections right there, I think.) From the mid 18th century, and up until WWII, this whole area was farmed intensively--there were farms and pastures everywhere. Farms were abandoned wholesale starting about 50-80 years ago--topsoil was gone. (The last few active farms near me were just abandoned a few years ago.) We have lots of Loblolly Pine woodlands now, or suburbs--ery different from the early 1900's. I just have to remember that when looking at the NCSU collection. Birdlife has really changed--field/orchard birds like Meadowlarks, Shrikes, and Red-headed Woodpeckers were common then, while woodland birds, such as Redbellied Woodpeckers, were uncommon. The situation is completely reversed now.

I actually met a graduate student at NCSU who studies Panorpa, he was able to recognize species from photographs. I think he's still around, I'll ask him about this species. There are lots of standard entomology things I don't do, like sweep-netting. Some things you just do not see walking around, no matter how observant you are.
