Cerotoma sp. (female). Probably female of C. atrofasciata Jacoby

Ficus Whitefly (Singhiella simplex)Observer
johnschneiderDescription
In 2015, this and other adults were coming to my lights, and I also collected a leaf with pupal exuviae from a Ficus benjamina tree a couple blocks away. I sent three adults, including this one, and the leaf/exuviae to whitefly specialist Ian Stocks (then with the Fla. Dept. of Agriculture, now with the USDA). He slide-mounted the exuviae and ID'd them as Singhiella simplex, which was a state record for Texas. He said it was a safe bet that the adults were also that species. Image also posted to https://bugguide.net/node/view/1157503.
Although this has long been a representative image for this taxon on iNat, for some reason the observation did not appear on the site, so I'm uploading it now as an observation.
