7/8 Jared Elliott Preserve

[Grkovich, Alex]

I just re-read my post..."Brick-red" may have been an exaggeration..."Deeper orange-red" may be more appropriate, but the spots definitely tend toward red, not to orange or even light orange as in CT and in eastern MA for that matter...

What is intresting to me about these pics is that in S VT and northward through northern New England, the orange spots become brick red and are (much) more extensive (especially below) than in these pics...also, the black is more jet black...These features are characteristic of the northern ssp. borealis...
 
Anyone know if colonies consisting of the borealis phenotype are found in CT???
 
Also, on July 20, 2003, I apparently found both "subspecies" flying nearby in separate colonies at Green River in SW Vermont...
