Frassed
Moved from Small Milkweed Bug.

Figured we only needed one of these two images as a placeholder for CA in August. I looked through my L. kalmii images for an August specimen to replace yours with, but came up empty-handed... Any chance you've gotten a better shot for that month since then?

Checked & nothing
Don't see many of these.

Hordes of 'em around my place...
...I'll make a point of taking a pic or two next August.

Way to go, Harsi!
You're really filling your 2010 dance card early. Geez, and you've got me lined up for three syrphids, too!

Well, you know, I'd love it...
...if all the "data point" images could be regularly improved upon and replaced. That way, I think it would be more difficult for those folks who are anti-data point to argue against them. I'm always looking for ways to make it less likely that (in my opinion) useful images will get the boot.
