Datana perspicua (Spotted Datana)? - Datana integerrima
Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana, USA
August 17, 2017
Found at approx 4 AM at the Indiana Government Center in downtown Indianapolis. I know the Datana can be difficult to ID, but thought maybe the very broad reniform spot on this one might indicate D. perspicua.
