Submitted by: SWilliams
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Struggle with these, hopefully the antennae shots help
Status: Resident
Verified by: Sue Gregoire
Verified date: August 13, 2024
Coordinator notes: Everybody struggles with these. F. jaculifera's best distinguishing feature is the two pale veins that come off the reniform and continue to the terminal line. Antennae setae more helpful determining tricosa and subgothica.
