Description

On the sunny sand banks of Betty's Pond. L. Opaculus was previously ID'd from this site, so that would seem the prime suspect: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/20139002 - A female?

Description

On the sunny sand shores of Betty's Pond. The pond is fishless and spring fed. I think this is a male. I've previously posted photos of females ID'd as L. Opaculus from the same site, so I wonder if this might be a male of that species. I found no photos that proved at all helpful. See also: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/212727730

Description

On bare sand on the bank of Betty's Pond. A male? I've posted three images as separate observations because I doubt they are the same individuals. The (apparent male) seems to have smoky wings.
