Common in various parts of tlie United States, and 

 quite variable in color and pattern of marking. When 

 fresli, the ground color is pale green, with the marking 

 of the head, thorax and tergum brownish black; but 

 when dried and kept for some time in the cabinet, it 

 becomes pale or dark straw yellow. Specimens from 

 Florida are much narrower than those from Illinois, 

 Kansas and Nebraska. A male from Texas is faded 

 straw yellow, with a little black on the vertex and about 

 the antennae. The males are sometimes much smaller 

 than the females.
