Frass
I frassed this because it is a very poor quality photo, and there are many much better ones here, so no need to keep it.

Event submission
For the time being, this is part of the Bugguide Louisiana gathering representative of what was found. This has value as a bioblitz effort. I understand that you want better quality photos, however, the scientific value at this point is also of relevance. Thanks.

Genus
Ok, if you're using this for a scientific purpose be aware that Prodaticus is not a valid genus. Like so many aquatic taxa here, the taxonomy is very out of date

I appreciate all you do
Hopefully, the taxa will be sorted in time. I have watched the moth taxa undergo changes as well, as fascinating as it is frustrating, but we citizen scientists adapt.
