Peter Bryant posted one of these from California

see

but it hasn't been ID'd yet. It looks closer to a Neacoryphus

with that red collar than to Jadera

. We'll be watching to see what suggestions you get. Nice capture - especially with the nymph!

Thanks for the help

and insight John and Jane. I'll cross my fingers and hope Peter's gets ID'd!
