First ode of season 2024 and earliest ever for me. Previous was May 12 in 2022. Most of my 1st ode sightings are 3rd week of May so this is quite early.

All images are the same adult taken at the same time within a few minutes.

On fallen Betula alleghaniensis branch, on ground under ferns.

Scattered along shoulder of road

Pale colour form. One plant growing in a clump of typical form plants. Edge of beaver pond.

Lifer :) Released.

Next to the parking lot flying high so I squatted down then jumped to catch it when it seemed to lose focus of me.

First record for Maritime Canada!!

Released

Lifer! :)

A bunch were emerging here. Many flew off as I approached. This one didn't. Appears to have failed to expand its wing. I never touch teneral wings. Instead, put finger down and it crawled aboard.

Very small, about 2 or 3 mm.
