<bR> <bR> <div> <B>14 September 2003 (v.14)</B></div> <bR> <div> Greg Lasley & I attempted to survey the Odonates of Atascosa County Tuesterday, 2 September 2003, but were stymied by heavy rains. Out of enthusiasm to get some work done, we drove west until we left the storm zone AND were in a county that needed work. That turned out to be Zavala County. We headed home different ways in the afternoon -- i drove through Maverick County in search of additional Lepidoptera and to scout promising Giant-Skipper acreage in Val Verde County.</div> <bR> <div> We were in seach of new dragonfly records and found and photographed a number of them (photographed 25 out of 30 species seen total; of those 17 were potentially new). As always i located and photographed Lepidoptera as well, though there were few encountered owing partly to lack of sun, and partly due to lack of nectar sources. Most found were on Buttonbush <I>(Cephalanthus occidentalis)</I> and Goatsbeard <I>(Clematis  drummondii)</I>. I searched for stands of Arroyo Twinevine <I>(Sarcostemma cynanchoides) </I>but found none.  Most notable were two metalmarks found at the one location i got to in Maverick County before low sun stopped activity. </div> <bR> <div> As always i crave corrections and discussion on identifications i have made of any of these critters.</div> <bR> <div> USGS = previously undocumented records according to the USGS website and John Abbott's Odonata Central. I am aware that the USGS site is behind and that Dr. Abbott is redesigning his site, but both remain the most accurate publicly available references i know, and thus their usage as a guide to places needing work and rough working documents for what needs confirming.</div> <bR> <div> * = Photographed (sometimes poorly); pictures visible on my website at:</div> <div> http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/margaret/203/id66.htm</div> <bR> <div> Included below is the usual list of the additional critters seen on the trip.</div> <bR> <div> Thanks to Robert Nuelle, Mike Overton, Dan Hardy, Greg Lasley, Janet Rathjen, John Abbott, Tom Langschied and Bob Behrstock for identifications, confirmations, commentary and corrections.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> *   *   *   *   *   *   *</div> <bR> <div> <B>2 September 2003</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>TX: Zavala Co., drainage on US Highway 57, 22 miles east of Nueces River</B></div> <div> <B>28º 56' 36.2”   99º 25' 23.0”   [Zav 1 drge]</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> LEPIDOPTERA</div> <bR> <div> *10 Phaon Crescent</div> <div> *2 Little Yellow</div> <div> *4 Ceraunus Blue</div> <div> 2 Eufala Skipper</div> <div> 1 Ocola Skipper (USGS)</div> <div> *1 Common (USGS)/White Checkered-Skipper</div> <div> *1 Gray Hairstreak</div> <div> 1 Queen</div> <bR> <bR> <div> ODONATA</div> <bR> <div> *30 Eastern Pondhawk (USGS)</div> <div> *1 Black Setwing</div> <div> 1 Widow Skimmer</div> <div> *3 Blue Dasher (USGS)</div> <div> *1 Eastern Amberwing (USGS)</div> <bR> <bR> <div> IN/VERTEBRATES OF INTEREST</div> <bR> <div> 1 Red-shouldered Hawk</div> <div> 1 Curve-billed Thrasher</div> <div> 1 Dickcissel</div> <bR> <div> *   *   *   *   *   *   *</div> <bR> <div> <B>2 September 2003</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>TX: Zavala Co., Leona River crossing on US Highway 57</B></div> <div> <B>[Zav 2 Leona R]</B></div> <bR> <div> LEPIDOPTERA</div> <bR> <div> 1 Cloudless Sulphur</div> <div> 1 Queen</div> <div> *2 Common Mestra</div> <div> *4 Bordered Patch</div> <div> 1 Clouded Skipper</div> <div> 1 Gulf Fritillary</div> <bR> <bR> <div> ODONATA</div> <bR> <div> *10 Smoky Rubyspot (USGS)</div> <bR> <bR> <div> IN/VERTEBRATES OF INTEREST</div> <bR> <div> 2 Eurasian Collared-Dove</div> <bR> <div> *   *   *   *   *   *   *</div> <bR> <div> <B>TX: Zavala Co., Nueces River crossing on US Highway 57</B></div> <div> <B>28º 56' 00.5”   99º 47' 49.7”    [Zav 3 Nuec57]</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> LEPIDOPTERA</div> <bR> <div> 1 Giant Swallowtail</div> <div> 4 Pipevine Swallowtail</div> <div> 1 Large Orange Sulphur</div> <div> 1 Snout sp.</div> <div> 2 Bordered Patch</div> <div> 20 Phaon Crescent</div> <div> 15 Common Mestra</div> <div> 1 Gulf Fritillary</div> <div> 6 Queen</div> <div> 1 duskywing sp.</div> <div> 3 Eufala Skipper</div> <div> *1 Clouded Skipper</div> <div> *6 Fiery Skipper</div> <bR> <bR> <div> ODONATA</div> <bR> <div> 1 American Rubyspot</div> <div> *5 Neotropical Bluet (USGS)</div> <div> *4 Familiar Bluet (USGS)</div> <div> 2 Dusky Dancer</div> <div> 1 Powdered Dancer</div> <div> *10 Blue-ringed Dancer</div> <div> 8 Common Green Darner (USGS)</div> <div> 1 Eastern Ringtail (USGS)</div> <div> 1 river cruiser sp.
