Cropped and moved for expert attention
Moved from ID Request.

Please be sure to crop your pics as close to "just the bug" as possible. Only you and the editors have the ability to view the full-size image. Everyone else is left looking at a little bug in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

Thanks--and welcome to BugGuide!
