A pretty spectacular species that is not very widespread out west of Montreal but that seems to be common where it does occur. I find it to be pretty common at St-Lazare sand pits. To see it there go to the very end of the track to the Base de Plein Air (signposted), where you can pay to park, or you can park by the soccer pitches and walk down. Go through the big steel fence and search the ground to the right where there is a spring fed largish pool. Also they get about 200m further west where there is a seasonal pool (good for other species) and they are easy to find on vegetation.
Calico Pennants fly June through to August.
The first two images are of females, the last four males.
