photographed at Mothapalooza - first Ohio record for BugGuide!

Probably a first state record
I can find no other records from Ohio in literature nor in collections, so I think you may have had a first record for the state. This species probably flies from the second week of July to the first week of August in Ohio, and it would be great if you could go back a look to see if you could find more. It would be great to take a small series of specimens to be placed in a collection.

 
interesting!
I plan to attend Mothapalooza in July next summer. I will bring a collection jar along.
