Thanks, J. Sadly, I only have this one decent shot of it. If I had known how rare it is in the U.S., I would have shot some more. I was visiting a car wash at night that had lots of invertebrates attracted to its lights and was in a hurry to document everything I could. :-(
Amazing green, and the name is awesome! Spectacular find, Aaron!
