Wrong location
This is listed as being in Maryland; the iNaturalist post is in California.

Thanks/sorry. I had the location name and county correct, but the state incorrect. This was observed in Monterey County, California. (I moved from MD to CA a few years ago and still work with MD data every day.)

I've been making the same mistake too, now that I'm in MS but still have my data filled out with my VA information

Mind reviewing some feedback on this one?
Can you please have a look here when time permits and let me know what you think? I had cross-posted to iNaturalist a while back. Thanks!

Thanks!
Wow, this appears to be only the second report of this species for BugGuide and iNaturalist, the other being in Massachusetts.
[EDIT-I apologize for the incorrect state of MD vs. CA. Location and county were correct but not state.]
