On today’s Bug Safari we found an Eastern Pondhawk. They have been around for a few weeks, but today was the first time one let us get really close. I am sure she thought she was well hidden in the leaves by the trail. Needless to say, we got a very good look at her, and even a few good photos.
This is one we are pretty confident in our identification of since it is distinctive. It was nice to get some clear photos to work with too, so it was not just off memory. The Eastern Pondhawk is big enough in real live to actually make good field notes while looking at it.
