Update: ID'd as the moth Palpita quadristigmalis |
Kelly and I photographed this dragonfly that he thinks is a female Black Setwing.
Tomorrow is Lajitas day for us. Hope we find something exciting there. While he was banding at CMO today I went off to get some errands done. I missed two good birds which we would have liked photos of. Such is life. Can't lay my camera down a minute. We saw one hummingbird here, but it was probably already banded and shunned the trap. Kelly was excited, though, to band a juvenile Lucifer Hummingbird at a site 3 miles from CMO. So the day was salvaged somewhat. This is the first year we've gotten Lucifers in November. Must be the abundant late monsoons gave them a chance to nest for the second or third time this year. Some of them seem newly fledged and some seem to have been fledged earlier this year, maybe in May.
Not a lacewing at all, some kind of moth is what it is--I don't know what kind, but possibly something in the family Pyralidae.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Crambidae moth, Palpita quadristigmalis.
