looks like Thyanta...
...but the indicated size is way off -- how was it measured?

Size
The indicated size is just a rough estimate (based on memory while looking at a ruler at a later time) so it could be a little off. I just looked at the info page for Thyanta custator in the guide. It gives a size of 10-11mm which is within my estimated range of 10-15mm, so it seems like it could be Thyanta.

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate the information that I get from Bugguide.

thanks for the clarification
the thing is, size data only help if measured in mm (usually ~0.1 mm accuracy is required), otherwise the size field is better left blank.

estimates are misleading in the majority of cases.
