Thanks.
Thank you for the ID. I try to ID but the best I can do is compare photos with no knowledge base. I just hope to learn as I go and contribute good images to this great site. You all are quite generous with your time and knowledge. Thank you.

I'm an amateur too, and have definitely had my share of help from other users to get even as far along as I am now in bug ID (which is not very far). Not surprisingly, the bugs I know best are the ones I've photographed myself, such as this one.
