Blue-faced Ringtail (Erpetogomphus eutainia)Observer
greglasleyDescription
Blue-faced Ringtail (Erpetogomphus eutainia) is local and uncommon in just a few locations in Texas. It is typically a late season bug (July-Sept) but @beschwar found one at Gonzales June 8 which is close to an early date for the species in Texas.

I met up with a friend from Houston this morning in Gonzales and we found two males, my first for this season. One of the most beautiful gomphids in the world in my opinion.
