Coordinator notes: Really nice close-up photo Ed. Your ID is correct....I think I already verified a record for this species you submitted from Kiowa County. Is this at the same location? Only one sighting for the same species should be added to the BAMONA data base from a specific location for the current year (unless it is at a different time of the year, eg. spring, summer, fall). I've sent the record on through as accepted since I don't know if it is at a different location. If it is from that same location, I should change the verification to "reject" for that reason.....if that is the case? Mike
