Two-tailed Swallowtail Butterfly - Our State Butterfly! I photographed this beauty tapping minerals out of the soil at Sabino Canyon. It was huge! And it was one of the most cooperative butterflies I have photographed. ©R.C. Clark: Dancing Snake Nature Photography
C. auratus. My girlfriend saw this large beetle running across the ground. Took a while before we convinced it to pose for a photo :)
Yesterday this thing came in and fluttered around the light. Anybody know what kind of insect this is? It's quite large - I would guess about 8 - 10 cm including antennae. I think I've found the name: Ophion ventricosus (correct me if I'm wrong)
although drab in its later life stages, the white marked tussock caterpillar is a vibrantly colored and decorated species. native to the eastern united states, the hairs adorning its back cause severe skin irritation when handled.
Advice needed - I think it is:
Slender Robber Fly - Leptogaster sp.
Family Asilidae,
Subfamily Leptogasterinae
Azure damselfly- natural light. Recently emerged and still colouring up. Slightly odd patch on it's eye.
I found this under a rose leaf - not sure what this bug is doing or what it is - it is just neat looking. (Newport News, Virginia)
