At last, some pleasant weather for this count, with occasional cooling breezes. As usual, we started at Leopold’s Preserve. Not much vegetation around the pond at the Farm Brewery; we didn’t spend much time at Silver Lake. Perhaps my only new dragonfly observed was a darner, ID TBD. But the team found some interesting critters that weren’t odonates, including a leaf-footed bug, Acanthocephala terminals, and a lacewing, Leucochrysa insularis. I got a really nice image of a male Citrine Forktail (Ischnura hastata). And maybe a new butterfly for me.
