Thank you! I will look to see if I have any full body shots.
luteum stenonema
This is my genus. With just a head and notum shot I can species this but it is the genus (Stenacron) 100% sure on that. Based on the markings and the Mar Orange coloring it strongly suggest to me this is (Stenacron interpunctatum / areion)
