Confirmed ID!
does look similar to the images i googled for Acinia picturata.
Hopefully Bug guide will have an Id soon.
I think they are, too! They looked bright green from the top but I wasn't able to get a photo of it.
eye colors are awesome!
Thank you for the link. It's similar but the markings on the wings are different. There are so many that look similar in our state!
