Reported as an adult

Usually reported as an adult mid-April to mid-October, middle week Jul 5–11.

From 172 records that are marked as adults. Not every photo is marked with a life stage, so this shows when people reported it as an adult, not when adults are about.

Reported as a larva

Usually reported as a larva late July to early October, middle week mid-August. An earlier season is not shown: only 11 records, too few.

What these results show

These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.
