Prue Road San Antonio,
Bexar County ,Texas area in early June 2004.
On June 27, 2004 at LaBonte Park in Calallen, north of Corpus Christi there was a swarm of feeding individuals; it
was quite windy, and on a small bare bush out of the wind there
were I found four M. marcella perched within eighteen inches
of each other:
- a young male, with promiment whitish thoracic stripe:
a mature male with the pale thoracic stripe mostly obscured:
a female; note the shorter, wider brown patches on the HW - much
closer to the shape of those found on M. simplex (unrecorded
in US but possible in TX or FL)
near Lake Casa Blanca State Park, Laredo, Webb County, Texas
