July 17, 2014 — Wood County
For work I was monitoring the Biron Flowage shoreline from the boat launch south to the dam along both sides of the lake and around the large island across from the launch. Day was beautiful! Light breeze, partly cloudy to cloud-free, around 65-70 degrees. We were on the water from about 8:30 to 1:45. Observations vary in location and will note in comments.

Powdered Dancer (Argia moesta)
Photographed
ID confirmed with photos by Bob DuBois. All males. The first three were taken at a pier at the south end of Cera Park. The third one was pulled from a spider web and although we tried to clear its wings, it has what looks like the remains of a mosquito still stuck to it. The 4th and 5th images were of hitchhikers out on the lake. Both were in the southern half of the lake. (5 photos)
