I hope somebody recognizes it.
We just had one of these at the LBJ Wildflower Center today. At first glance I thought of Sereda, but the enlarged image doesn't match anything I know or can find. This is the first time I've ever seen it and I've been doing surveys at this location since 2006.

 
Interesting!
Very interesting, Valerie. I would have thought that the patterns would be distinct enough to narrow it down, but through my searching online, I've just had no luck...

 
Likely undescribed
Or something heretofore known only from Mexico. Please collect if you see again.
