Antillean Saddlebags, immature male by birding4ever

Antillean Saddlebags, immature male

Great Pond / Eleuthera Island, The Bahamas

The day that our group visited Great Pond on Eleuthera Island, I saw my first dragonfly in The Bahamas so, of course, I had to spend a little time taking photos of it. Almost immediately a saddlebags came to mind and I was thinking Antillean Saddlebags at the time as that one, among several others, has narrow saddles as opposed to broad saddles as in Red Saddlebags . But, when I returned home and began researching images and Dennis Paulson's Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East, the saddlebags that comes closest to this image is a female Vermilion Saddlebags. Yet, this image shows even narrower saddlebags than the photo that is shown in Dennis Paulson's field guide. I have posted this image to Western Odonata this morning hoping for some feedback and confirmation that this is a female Vermilion Saddlebags and if it is, it would, of course, be a lifer ode for me.

Dennis Paulson Dave, the purple I can see on top of the frons and the purplish tinges on the thorax indicate it is an Antillean Saddlebags, Tramea insularis. I hope this is a lifer too!

Turk's-cap White-Skipper, male by birding4ever

Turk's-cap White-Skipper, male

Edinburg Scenic Wetlands / Hidalgo County, Texas

When I first went through my Texas images back in May of this year, I first identified this skipper as a Laviana White-Skipper but having just researched the White-Skippers in Jeffrey Glasberg's Butterflies through Binoculars of the West, I realized that it not a Laviana White-Skipper but a Turk's-cap White Skipper based on the fact that not only does this image appear to be very much like the Laviana but somewhat muted in the darkish edges of the wings but in both the forewings there appears to be a white ray that shoots through the darkish border of the forewing and extends to the margin of the wing. I posted this same image in BugGuide.Net and I received a comment back that this is indeed a Turk's-Cap White-Skipper and not a Laviana White-Skipper.

While the skippers were busy in early October visiting the flowering plants on the south side of the swimming pool in the gated community that I live in, I managed to get a dorsal wing-spread of the Eufala Skipper and the Sachem but I thought that I had over-looked the Fiery Skipper but in looking through my skipper images during the 7-10 day period that the skippers were visiting, I did, in fact, manage to get an image of the dorsal wing-spread of a Fiery Skipper and here it is.
