![]() | Photo 15 by: Paul Scharf Comment: Warren, 2009-07-15 - female, Hubquarter Creek, Lake Gaston. Same individual as in previous photo. Comment from Dennis Paulson: "Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish between L. vigilax and L. inaequalis. One of the field marks is the underside of the ovipositor, dark in inaequalis and pale in vigilax. From that alone, yours should be inaequalis. Another field mark is that inaequalis has the outer side of the tibiae pale, and that is evident in the front leg on the side view. L. inaequalis often has a brighter metallic green thorax than vigilax." |
