Harold,
Thanks; I was not aware of the difference in the sexes; so much to learn, so
little time.
Best, Steve

Steve,
It is a female Eastern Amberwing. The male hase entirely orange wings, but
the female has clear wings except for variable brown markings, generally a
basal spot and a band at the nodus. I have found the females to be slightly
larger than the males, but they are all about one inch long maximum.
Best regards,
Harold Howell
