Notes:
Found during the 2004 NAMA foray to Asheville, North Carolina, at a picnic area along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Intially identified by sight based on collections from California. However, these were notably smaller and had different coloring than what I’m used to seeing in California. See for comparison.
