Blaste quieta (Hagen) - Blaste quieta
San Marcos, Hays County, Texas, USA
May 11, 2012
Size: ~ 2.5 mm
I reared this nymph to the adult stage and it turned out to be a female Blaste quieta. I made the ID based on the pigmentation pattern on the forewings and on the 2 prominent dark brown spots on each side of the postclypeus of the resulting adult. This one was so obvious, I'm not going to bother Mockford with a verification.
