This insect comes in two color phases: the brown form appears in spring, or if the summer is cool; the iridescent form in hot summer. Occasional specimens may be a mixture of colors.

Question for Andy Hamilton.
Forgive me if you posted this information somewhere I have not visited yet:-) Did you do these wonderful illustrations? Are they part of a publication we can obtain? Thank you for sharing!
