Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...looks like a newly emerged male. Do you find these at this site earlier in the year and have you seen any "new" ones at Hot Sulphur where you have a couple months ago...you should check there also and see if any show up...this individual could represent a second flight or partial one...or a delayed emergence. See if you see any more next week if you are able to. Mike
