Would like confirmation if this is an "Episemasia solitaria". Thanks...

Moved
Sam knows his stuff, so we'll move that one based on his ID, and we'll move this one too assuming it is the same thing. It certainly appears to be.

Certainly seems likely
but we still can't find any images online for comparison :(
It's built like Episemasia and it's in Florida which seems right. Do you know if Ilex was nearby?

Episemasia solitaria?
Yes, there was Ilex around the area. I photographed a another one and just added that photo to BugGuide. It looked different than this one. Sam Jaffe ID'd the other one on Facebook...

But I'm going through my "unidentified" photos and was wanting to add the correct ID to this one...

Thanks,
Karen
