Swift River Cruiser

Swift River Cruiser Macromia illinoiensis

I've only seen one of these, I managed to bounce it off the bonnet of the car and, while it lay crocked on the roadside, took its photo. It partially recovered and sat on my hand a while, probably not typical habitat. Its most likely to be present along the cleaner rivers of the Laurentians and elsewhere.

It flies June through August.
