jhskevington's Identifications

Spectacular find by Darrell Parsons and Polin yesterday at the Ode Gloryhole, the Sandbowl. Would appear to be a 1st Canadian record.

From Needham’s by dark tibia and thoracic stripes are roughly parallel rather than intruding towards the front of the thorax, beyond humeral suture. Wing veins consistent in tone across the leading edge.

There may be other characters for separation and, I suppose, there may be even less likely suspects to be eliminated.

Just this spring alone, this tiny site has hosted Citrine Forktail, up to 3 Comet Darner, putative population of Southern Spreadwing, Boreal Bluet, Mocha Emerald, Painted Skimmer and many breeding Carolina Saddlebags.
