Hi guys - I have been trying to figure out which sister it is.....I am leaning towards the Arizona but I am not sure ....I went to a page that gave a great descriptor but it involved looking on the underside of the species and I dont have a photo - these little buggers were very nervous and wouldn't let me get very close
Here is long list of North American sisters.. Lovely information of American beauties..!!
