Thank you 58chevy, being very new to entomology, I was not aware of their scarcity. Around 3:00 today I biked to the spot where I collected the P. epimenis yesterday, a mile down the road, to see if I would get lucky again. About 5 min. after I arrived, I spotted another fresh specimen happily flying around. I hurriedly got my net and swung...and...got it! I retrieved my treasure and headed home. What a beautiful species! Has anyone else got any this year? Also, is there an easy way to tell the gender? I will try to remember to post photos after they are set. Timothy

They can be abundant in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky in the spring. They freely visit damp spots on the road or wet mud in ditches or along stream banks. They are a gorgeous creature. They are a day flier and do not come to light.
