Mustached Clubtail Gomphus adelphus - Hylogomphus adelphus
Banning State Park, Pine County County, Minnesota, USA
July 10, 2014
This audacious clubtail snagged the crane fly I was trying to photograph, took it a foot away and proceeded to eat it. My search for a name came up with a Mustached Clubtail Gomphus adelphus. Confirmation or correction would be appreciated.
