June 30, 2007 Gray Petaltail

Not the best specimen or image. This Gray Petaltail in Stebbins Gulch was posed in a typical hanging posture. Gray Petatail is found in shaded ravines and is very tame. This one readily landed on several people.

Dunking bugs in cool water slows them down so they can be photographed and does them no harm.
