Austin,
I'd like to compliment you both on your mounting and on your photography. Sorry to say, but we get some pinned specimens that look like road kill. Thank you for taking pride in your work and for contributing a valuable body of work to BugGuide.

Thanks
I appreciate the recognition. I'd like to thank you and the other contributing experts on Bugguide for the help too. It makes identifying the material from this Bioblitz much easier.
