Checkered Setwing
Uploaded: August 26, 2009
This is a primarily south-central United States species that is easily recognized by its dark color and the large basal brown spots.
No other setwing in the region has broad basal markings in both wings and a checkered abdomen. F/16, 1/50th, ISO 800 in full shade with fill flash. Sigma 150mm lens.
