Some more neat bugs.

Although fall migration is going on I'm not seeing much. So here's some more bug pics. A few days ago I found my first Evening Skimmer on the Green Jay trail at Estero Llano Grande State Park. It's a crepuscular species that spends the day in a dark wooded area. I later found a couple more of them outside the headquarters at Santa Ana NWR. This is one of the rare RGV odes.

Another new one for me was the also crepuscular Bar-sided Darner, another RGV specialty. This one was at Estero Llano Grande.

After finding the darner, a special treat was this superb Two-barred Flasher.
