| The Eastern Least Clubtail (Stylogomphus albistylus) occurs along streams in the eastern third of the U.S. and parts of Canada. It ranges west to Minnesota and Wisconsin and south to some parts of Georgia and Alabama. It is one of the smaller clubtails and can be missed unless you watch for it carefully. It often perches on rocks in the middle of a flowing stream. The shots here were taken along Waba Creek, Arnprior, Renfrew Co., Ontario, Canada, in July, 2005, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens with a 2X extender and 580 EX flash. The very similar Interior Least Clubtail (S. sigmastylus) occurs in parts of Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee. |  |
