  Sighting 1261559

Observation date: July 18, 2020
Submitted by: Gordilly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sighted on side of plumber's van as he was leaving my house. Unlikely to have traveled far as he would have been driving at highway speeds to get to my house. My understanding is that X. urticaria and X. sospeta are nearly identical. Placing in this species based on heavier markings per Peterson field guide (Beadle/Leckie).
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: There is argument over whether X sospeta and X. urticaria are actually the same species; I therefore IDed to species.
