Coordinator notes: I agree with your suggested ID....the top photo is a female, the one on the thistle flower is a male. I've never been in the Woods Lake area....sounds like a nice spot but I'll bet it was overrun with people this past summer. It was just about everywhere else in SW Colorado. Mike
