Observation details
2-3 territorial males, and presumed presence of at least one female based on male display behavior. I had never seen adult males of this species before, and the first made me gasp out loud -- I had initially thought he was a large moth. A few minutes later, he went into his display, zooming straight up and diving in Us with extremely high pitched sounds at the bottom of the dive. Truly awesome.
