GreenBugs Red-shouldered hawk
Red-shouldered hawk commented on by GreenBugs Florida, USA9 years ago

Nice job getting a picture of the Red-Shouldered Hawk in a natural setting. Even if it was at the Wetlands Park, at least it took the time to perch on a tree.

one look at the face suggest to me that it's a slant-faced grasshopper

GreenBugs Striped Horsefly
Striped Horsefly commented on by GreenBugs Jacksonville, Florida, USA9 years ago

very nice job getting the eye stripes, along with the white strip down the abdomen. The fly must have sat still for some time in order to get so many different pictures.

With so many native diptera species, getting any one species correct from a picture can be a challenge. Given the wing patterns, one way to begin a guesstimate would suggest it might be an anthrax fly.

Looks like a Red-bordered Metalmark (Caria ino). They are native to Central America and can be found as far north as South Texas.

They look similar to their North American counterparts. Thanks for sharing.

A very nice Orangetip. They look similar to the North American Orangetips. The underside of the wings looks different, so that when they close their wings they can be camouflaged on a branch.

GreenBugs Cherry-faced Meadowhawk

By the looks of the black at the end of the tail, it looks like a Cherry-faced Meadowhawk (Sympetrum internum)
