Coordinator notes: So...this doesn't really look like C. ladon or neglecta to me. That said, I'm aware that Stony Creek is about 45 miles east of the generally accepted range for this sp. (at least according to the map on BAMONA's species page). I've seen C. neglectamajor in CT before, but in the far west of this small state. I hope that someone will correct me if I'm off-base with this. JRains
