More insects from a trip to the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. These are all from Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. It was a beautiful day, with insects on the vegetation everywhere.

Pretty little skipper, something of a South Texas specialty as well.

So sorry, another atrocious record shot! This large skipper had a very distinct vertical white line across the ventral side of the HW. Calpodes?

It has a lot more black in the wing tips than others I have photographed, but I see examples in iNat from other states that are similar

Coppery Emerald (Somatochlora georgiana)Observer
beschwarDescription
I believe this may be the first photographic record of this species in VA. There is one specimen record listed on Odonata Central.
One of three seen here between 5:30 and 7:30 pm. Feeding in mixed groups that at times included one or more of the following species: Treetop Emerald, Clamp-tipped Emerald, Mocha Emerald, Fine-lined Emerald, Coppery Emerald, Spot-winged Glider (no photos), Wandering Glider, River Cruiser sp (no photos), and Swamp Darner (no photos).
With 5 species of Somatochlora here, this may be the most speciose site for the genus known in VA. Earlier in the day, I was hiking and driving in the area and this spot on a hilltop, aligned east-west, and with smaller pines, struck me as being good for evening feeding activities. I wasn’t wrong!

Florida White (Glutophrissa drusilla)Observer
bill_sheehanDescription
Unlike previous late summer strays recorded in South Georgia, this specimen was collected in the Piedmont Region of north-Georgia in Athens, GA in June. In addition, the specimen collected (see photo) was very fresh, with no tears or damage on its wings. Therefore it is unlikely that this specimen was a long-distant migrant. Note the pronounced black band around the distal portion of the hind wings. This feature (abnormality?) is unlike typical hindwing coloration of this species from south Florida or the Florida Keys, which lack this band entirely. – James W. Porter / University of Georgia
