Cosmosoma sp. at blacklight - Cosmosoma achemon
Pinecrest Campground, Monroe County, Florida, USA

iNaturalist observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/82566648

I misidentified this as Cosmosoma myrodora and iNat user @orthemis pointed out that it looked like something different, possibly Cosmosoma achemon. See iNat observation above for comments. I unfortunately didn't get the best photos :-/

Cosmosoma achemon would be really cool! The first iNat or BG record from the US!
