daveczaplakDescription
There is a small population of this species 30 miles upriver at Lander, MD, discovered by Richard Orr. This is the first record for Montgomery Count, MD. Shape of the terminal appendages is diagnostic. Mid April emergence date is typical. Newly emerged and cold. Picked it up briefly so Dave Roberts could photograph the appendages from a better angle while I held it. Set it back on the log. It flew off later.
