Thanks so much
for the help metrioptera; how did you determine that this was C. brevipennis (vs. C. fasciatus, for example)?

The color and shape of the ovipositor is different. Compare

The long wings threw me, though. I had to look twice to see that this wasn't C. fasciatus.

You're absolutely right- this really
helps clarify things for me- thanks so much once again metrioptera!
