Observation notes: Have been observing many of these in the Mono Basin past few days, particularly 3/30. Temps have been unusually warm during observation period (lows around 30 deg. F) highs up to low 70's). Last night it was 22 deg. F low, and predicted to be colder, so I wonder if it has an effect on these insects. Typically, temperatures don't reach the highs we've experienced until well into April -- everything is about 5 -6 weeks early this year.
Hoping these additional photos of a live one may be useful (supplement to the roadkilled individual I submitted as a record).
