Cindy,now a days ,we are finding every thing every where!! I think that range needs to be "redefined"!!

Ha ha, I just did. Funny how we uploaded them back-to-back. His species is only eastern US. I did more searching on the genus and T hespera is the only possibility. Thanks again!

Did you have a look at Beakers? Thiodina sylvana? Might be a closer match?

Thank you for the ID. I didn't initially enter T hespera because the markings on the abdomen look a bit different but it's the closest match.
