Tom Swamp Corporal - Ladona exusta

Tom Swamp Corporal - Ladona exusta
Tom Swamp, Petersham, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA
May 22, 2010
During the Massachusetts Butterfly Club's annual trip looking for Bog Elfins, there were a number of teneral Corporals, most looking like they had just emerged that day. There also was a fair diversity of butterflies (though no Bog Elfin). A few weeks later, I returned to the same location with the Athol Bird and Nature Club on a dragonfly trip; the area was swarming with hundreds of Corporals, and there were almost no butterflies to be seen.
