BioBlitz + Mothing at Pease Park for the 2024 City Nature Challenge!
Rain, hail, and tornado sirens!!! A rough start of the City Nature Challenge here in DFW!!! :) Elizabeth and I went to a few parks in Arlington before getting rained and hailed on. Hopefully it lightens up a bit this afternoon and evening.

Struggled with this one for a bit but after keying & rekeying this one several times, I'm quite certain this is it. Protibia with an apical projection/process; apical inner half of metatibia with a "hairbrush"; elytral intervals more convex towards the apex, with 3(?) punctures on the 7th stria; pronotum convex, with deep basal impressions.; right paramere with a small hook. The aedeagus was damaged during dissection and there are no illustrations of it in Lindroth so that is somewhat of a mystery.
