The Prince Baskettail is a large, elegant species which cannot be confused with the other Nebraska baskettails. The abdomen is slender and the adult male has metallic green eyes. It sometimes has brown spots at the base, middle and tip of each wing. The male patrols almost incessantly and is seldom seen perching. Both the male and female are brown all over without obvious stripes or other markings. |
