Submitted by: K. S. Veitch
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Took the exposure up a step and pulled about +75 Shadows in lightroom. Hope it helps, they were almost black so I did consider H. sordidula when looking through my book but couldn't find any good pictures to compare and found a close match on BugGuide for H. madefactalis
