I didn't feel like I should do a long excursion since I have to go to the oasis and water tomorrow, so I went to Marathon to the Post and Gage Gardens. There were oodles of Pearl Crescents at the Post, which was a new butterfly species for me. There were so many, and they looked so much like Vestas, that I didn't spend enough effort, like I should have, to get a better photo.
And here is a spider getting ready to eat a damselfly, maybe a forktail.
It appears to be a bad day for forktails. Here's a Rambur's Forktail that seems to be eating another Rambur's Forktail. All bad photos. The damselflies are tiny and hidden back in the vegetation. It's very difficult to get a decent shot.
Here's my second ever C Streaky-Skipper. I got a better look and photo than I did on the first one (see post of Aug 23).
This dragonlet near the pond was one I had trouble IDing, so have sent it off to the experts. It seems it's a Plateau Dragonlet.
