cool; thanks, guys --is this a state record??
i see none anywhere in New England

 
Spectacular!
As i said, I have a few other specimens back in the UNH entomology lab, so if they are a new state record then they're in the right place to be documented.

 
C.W. O'Brien confirms:
"Yes, it is a new state record."
