apicata? - Empoa apicata
Franklin County, Missouri, USA
June 12, 2018
I thought at first this was another gillettei until I shot the underside and noticed the 4 brownish dots towards the rear of the wings. I don't see these spots on the other gillettei images so I wonder if this is just a variation or could it be something else. E gillettei is very similar to E apicata but there are no images showing the underside for me to compare with. Hoping an expert will take a look. Range is right too. Thanks
