Untentatively grateful!
Thank you for the ID, =v=.
I don't have any better images of this specimen from the BioBlitz, but I think I might have other photos of this same species from elsewhere on the Island. If I submit a separate post, are there any specific views needed to assist in identifying this genus in transition?
