Owl Sulfur male resting on a blade of grass at the foot of a dry limestone hill.
A female of Anisorus quercus resting in the vegetation of a wasteland. In this species the male is black with red shoulders and the female does not usually wear black sutures on her eliters. I thank Boris Büche, curator of the Inaturalist organization, for his help and confirmation of the identification.
Owly Sulphur still a little sleepy that I could take a few moments on my hand. Luberon, France.
The Owly Sulphur as its name suggests is usually yellow. Few individuals, as this male, can be white, which somewhat complicates their identification, because then they can be confused with a closely related species, a white Owlfly (Libelloides lacteus). Luberon, France.
