Rhagio Twin - Rhagio
Near Ruraldale, Upshur County, West Virginia, USA
June 5, 1990
Sixteen years after taking this photo, I have at last identified its species. It is whatever species Tom's image is:



Ha, well that's a start! Genus Rhagio? Can anyone add a species name?

Looks like...
Rhagio mystaceus, pictured in both Eric Eaton's new book, and in Stephen Marshall's new book.

With 25 Rhagio species in the Nearctic, I won't declare with certainty this is R. mystaceus, but the ID seems likely.
