Golden-headed Scallopwing (Staphylus ceos)
Puddy, great pic. A Scallopwing that is easy to ID.
Thanks! There are years we see only one or two or none of these. Got lucky as there must have been a mass emergence because we had a couple dozen in one small patch of ranch land. Folks didn't believe me and I invited them to the ranch and they got to see a couple dozen as well as this mating pair and other females ovipositing!
