Yes…
8mm would be the average FW length for this species, rather than 8cm.

See reference here.

widely across S Canada etc
Cool! Well, glad it's now on the SK data map, then. Thank you. This was SO tiny, and couldn't really see any colour, just a light fuzzy tiny blur flew by, on the tail end of a hike I did this morning... JUST ABOUT passed it by, but thought "what the heck" and spent 10 minutes following this little fuzzball around. It rarely sat still until it found some Pussytoes... those plants they seem to like I guess - it sat nicely for a few minutes.
