Description

I was with John and Kendra Abbott and other researchers while we were netting this species, taking DNA samples, marking the individuals and releasing them.

image 1 unmarked male perched on Yellow Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia alata). The genus of the pitcher plant is where Corgulegaster sarracenia got its name.

image 2 unmarked male

image 3 male after it had been netted, DNA sample taken and released again. Note the yellow dot on the wing which alerted us not to catch this one again.
