Owlfly on grass stalk - Ululodes macleayanus - Male
Bear Island Wildlife Management Area, ACE Basin, Colleton County, South Carolina, USA
July 21, 2009
Photographed in tall grass at the edge of a very lightly used dirt road, about 50 feet from a pond at a former rice plantation. I'd never seen one of these and had a tough time getting to genus Uluodes, never mind narrowing it down to a species. Though, if I had to guess, I would say U. macleayanus. With concurrence I'll move these.
