Data posting for this species in Illinois, for the month of August.

First posted on August 2nd, 2007.
First update on August 7th, 2007.

Updated remarks: This specimen was just absolutely a stunner! He didn't have a mark on him and landed right in my back yard about chest high and sat there for a whole series of photographs. I think I know what Heaven might turn out to be like.
