Seen on a short hike to visit an area listed as exemplary wet prairie by FNAI (location listed on their website) in the Three Lakes WMA. I spent my Saturday and Sunday at Three Lakes to hike and blacklight.

Lucky to see this. Apparently the male makes a cone-shaped frothy mass on a leaf when ready to breed. I finished walking my dog and checked 30 minutes later and the mass was gone. So was this the male making it or a female eating it ?

not my own observation (got the consent of the observator to post it here) - as long as this family is not established in Europe (as far is i researched shortly) - am i completely wrong or...? The observator said it flew into his flat through the open window...
