Hippiscus ocelote - female

Hippiscus ocelote - Female
south of Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico, USA
October 18, 2009
Size: 51 mm
A curious local rancher had just pulled up, stopped on the road, and we were talking about what we were doing with our nets, when this big girl flew up and landed on the hood of his pickup, and - smack. My son Dylan [9] had slammed his net down on the pickup (and caught her). Luckily, the rancher has a young son too, enjoyed it, and didn't mind! He drove away chuckling.
