S. ochroleuca and S. arcisepala growing side by side. Big contrast in colour and to a lesser extent, phenology.

Another new location for Charlotte County. I have only seen them arrive in Pocologan, which they did again this year, but was so thrilled to see this guy at the St. George Marsh Trail this day :).

Joint effort ... @becksinsects Rebecca McCluskey, @nbdragonflyguy Denis Doucet and myself saw this beauty today at Fundy National Park at the end of the FNP 2022 weekend bioblitz.
#####
EDIT: See comments below. There was a sighting in 1995 by Karl Dexter in Saint John area. I had originally posted above but have removed the following:
1st confirmed record of Comet Darner in Atlantic Canada.
These are 1st images confirming one in Atlantic far as I know.

Remarkable seeing large numbers of this species that is extremely rare in NB. Heron Island may be the only extant occurrence and the plants had not been seen in 20+ years. We had little understanding of exactly where they were and no idea how many were present.

I wonder if this is a B. vagans male, or perhaps B. sandersoni? I will upload more images soon.

about a dozen of these mussels in this location. A range of sizes. I suspect there are other populations of this species upstream in the watershed, but I have yet to find any.

I have collected this specimen and will get better photos. I am told it could be a first for NB. There were several of these white bee flies in an overgrown gravelly area.
