I was just looking for this one and had gotten to the Sesiidae when I saw that Jane and John had ID'd it. I knew I had seen it somewhere! Kudoos to Jane and John.

Metalmark moth--thanks!
I never even knew this entire group of moths existed! I love finding a whole new realm of personal ignorance to correct. Thanks, as always, for the pointer!
