I think you're right

if you'd like, take a look at my photo of a forage looper--I submitted one a few months ago that looks quite similar--although your's is a bit lighter in coloration.

thanks Ted. Not too bad fo

thanks Ted.

Not too bad for my point and shoot mini sized camera. I've been using a Casio Exlim. I don't always get that nice a shot out of it, but I did like the way that one came out.

Also, I think the other image you posted, with the wings open, is also a forage looper, yes?

Yes

Both are same species; I was waiting to get one ID confirmed so I can frass the other since they are both in September. Thanks, Ted
