Yes, The Name Game comes into play here
See: http://bugguide.net/node/view/241412

I shot one around the Nature Center, around the same time. (You found a better specimen, but the nicest ones are at Riley.)

Please change spelling to Caspers for consistency in searches; at least two more of us shoot there. Park was named for Ronald Caspers, a county supervisor instrumental in its creation.

Thanks Ron
I'll need to check out Riley sometime.

Definitely worthwhile
Best when butterfly garden is in bloom, as it attracts a variety of insects, including native bees and tarantula hawks. Often, many bee flies on the trails, but not so far this year.
