On July 9, 2015, we observed this female Swift River Cruiser (Macromia illinoiensis). It was observed on the mile-long first leg of the Greenbelt Corridor adjoining Elm Fork Park, Lake Ray Roberts/Lake Lewisville FM 455 Access Area, Denton County Texas (between Pilot Point and Sanger). These parks are administered by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

I've been hunting this species for a couple of months now. This is the first year I've seen them and the only photographs we have from LLELA were back in 2008 and 2009. I was hoping the great flood would offer us new opportunities and sure enough here is one. I found this one perching nicely at the edge of LLAERF's research ponds. One of my most memorable finds after such long and fruitless hunts.

Second observation in two days. Up until now, this had been a rather elusive species for me. I was standing in the road talking to Larry about Cruisers when this one flew right up and posed quite nicely.
