As others have noted, we don't see Koellensteinia very often, so thanks for posting this interesting Zygo relative.
SP SORRY... I think I mentioned it in one of my earlier posts that I could not find any threads or posts for K. Ionoptera., so I posted it with this species knowing all along it is not Koellensteinia graminiae but Koellensteinia ionoptera. I never meant to imply I thought it was GRAMINEA. I just didn't know where else to post my question. Speaking of graminea, I had one of those also but I didn't have as much success with that one as I did with this one... I guess you could say I didn't have any success at all! Thank you for your efforts. I'm glad I could post something that people don't see too often.
