Prior to blasting the sequences, a tree was generated to get a rough idea of the relatedness of these bugs. There were 2 leaves on the same branch with no branch distances. We thought we made a mistake and that we submitted the same sample twice. After BLAST, we thought we definitely sent in the same sample twice. But the image search and comparison revealed that this was the adult version of Croissant! This was identified as a Chrysoperla rufilabris.
