Marsh/Bugs (I)

Great for insects, etc. along the Marsh Trail @ Presque Isle State Park. These shots from earlier in June.


Finally, a cooperative swallowtail butterfly – the lovely Spicebush Swallowtail (Papilio troilus):

And the always fascinating Eastern Pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis):

More swallowtail x dragonfly:


Looks like a beautiful Hobomok Skipper (Lon hobomok):


No one’s a huge fan of flies (other than birds = food), but still a nice shot of some sort of hover fly (species uncertain):


A beautiful flycatcher, probably Least Flycatcher:


Dragonfly wing reflection (species uncertain)
Northern Blue Flag Iris (Iris versicolor)
