Great picture! And lucky to see this. (Carolina, he is actually holding her proboscis! I hadn't noticed until I saw your comment!).

Thanks. It seemed like the most likely species to be found in my area, but I know very little about insects. These were some of the most interesting flying critters I've seen around here.
