I had E. abiskoensis later in the summer of 2016, and I think that's quite possibly a label for this one. It is a little more orange-toned on the abdomen markings, so I would like extra eyes on it.

Sorry for the blurry photos - the bug jar it was in is old. I found it perched on the underside of a dead twig in my yard, flat against the twig -the twig I found it on is in the last photo. I believe you can see the spurs on the hind legs characteristic of this genus. I’ll take microscopic pics later for species ID.
