I am hoping that someone can recognize it and place it in a genus. I think that this one is very pretty. I tried to make photos of it but it wouldn't sit still. I found it on a window of my apartment building. Thank you for your time. johnes81 attached the following image: [36.85Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 12-07-2018 11:33 John and Nini.

I have no idea why i failed to notice a male. I appreciate the message. I can always check for vouchers and try a dna test. If i can reach a species with dna, then i will update the post. Thank you very much and i hope that you have a pleasant day John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.
