Chalk-fronted Corporal

Chalk-fronted Corporal Ladona julia

A very common species around Southern Quebec favouring boggy ponds to breed in. A great one for landing on roads and tracks, often in numbers. The shape of the insect is quite distinctive although there are confusion species such as Frosted Whiteface.

A flier in late May through July.

Two males top, two females bottom.
