Common Whitetail

The Common Whitetail grows to about 1 3/4 inches long and has a stocky body. Males have a chalky white abdomen which makes them easy to identify. Males also have a broad, dark brown band in the center of each wing.

Female whitetails have a brown abdomen with yellowish dash-like markings on the sides. They have brown blotches in the center of each wing and at the tips.

Both sexes have brown faces and brown legs.
