Submitted by: Jacksenzig
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Confirmed by Bugguide.net https://bugguide.net/node/view/1596795 There is no undulata on BAMONA that I could find. It seems on Bugguide.net that the two species are grouped together.
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: Rheumaptera prunivorata looks likely but I'm not that familiar with this species. Comparing the map records of the two species on iNaturalist, I see that R. prunivorata seems to be the choice based on sightings and color. Best thing would be to also post this photo on iNaturalist and see what ID you may get. For the time being I'll post this to R. prunivorata pending any other suggestions so that it doesn't remain in the pending list.
