synanthedon viburni or fatifera? - Synanthedon viburni - Female
Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA

observed briefly perched on snowball bush (viburnum). Thought it might be a peach tree borer, but based on BG photos, seems a better match for a viburnum borer. Confirmation/correction appreciated.

Based upon what I can see, I would call this a female Synanthedon viburni.
