Mount-top Arrow, side view - Stylurus spiniceps - Female
Mount Sugarloaf, Franklin County, Massachusetts, USA
September 6, 2010
Wife and I were enjoying the view from the Sugarloaf summit, and of course I started looking at birds, butterflies, and dragonflies before too long. This critter flew in, landed on the paved sidewalk, and stayed there while I took a few photos, despite a crowd of oblivious tourists wandering all around. Must have emerged from the Connecticut River, far below, and decided to gain some altitude... Lifer for me!
