This will have to wait my return to go through Bob Lewis's nymph pictures. A catantopine.

I have looked through Bob Lewis' nymph images in Rentz but could not find a match. Early instar nymphs are notoriously difficult to id. Close to Perunga and Peakesia. Suggest you follow through with another visit to the same spot for an older specimen.

Thanks Roger. I was hoping this was a Perunga. It was very close to where I saw an adult last year (sighting 3871807).

The 4th image is much more Perunga like, suggest you use this as the main image
