MatthewVDB, can you elaborate
MatthewVDB, can you elaborate on the habitat in Norman you found this? I live 25 miles southeast of Norman and want to keep an eye out for this species. If you prefer, please email me at bryan@botwf.org

Hi Bryan-

Matthew and I just published a short note about this species in the latest issue of the News of the Lepidopterists' Society (v.55 #3). I could send you a .pdf of this if you'd like.
