Slender Spreadwing, Emmon’s Preserve, Kennebunkport Maine

When I first saw this Spreadwing it was in a mating wheel with its female. They broke apart before I could get a pic and I had to track each one down separately. 🙂 To say that this fellow has an impressive abdomen is an understatement. Incredibly flexible too. And considerably longer than its mate’s. It was in the weeds at the edge of a forest, still in shade, which contributes to the clarity of the shot. Emmon’s Preserve, Kennebunkport Maine.
