Mass emergence, saw around 30 on the grass of our shoreline, can only imagine how many more were along the entire channel shore.

Dusky Clubtail (Phanogomphus spicatus)
Netted and released
This was the beginning of emergence. The following day they were everywhere...eating everything. I believe the second photo is of a female. She was chowing down on a Common Baskettail. Started by chewing off the head.

Common Baskettail (Epitheca cynosura)
Photographed
Found presumed dead on the ground, we had the temperature fluctuate pretty significantly throughout the day of cold and hot. Left it on a bush hoping it would revive.
