I spotted one of these about a month ago in the Omaha area. It's the first time I have seen one and BugGuide doesn't list any in Nebraska. I don't know if it is because they are so small and may be overlooked or if they have expanded their range.

Great shots Logan! I spotted one of these in my area about a week ago. It was so active I couldn't get a decent shot. I am looking forward to seeing if anyone has an ID for this cool little guy:)
