Description

Slightly more purplish tint in person. I found this little guy munching on the underside of a mushroom in a mature douglas fir forest on a hillside.
iNat thinks it might be a yellow-bordered taildropper but I didn't think it really matched the images it showed for that species.
Blue-grey taildroppers have not been previously recorded in this area to my knowledge
