Observation of the Week: southern pygmy clubtail

This week's feature is a southern pygmy clubtail, photographed and logged by iNaturalist user dannyoshea near Fredericton, NB. It is a secretive inhabitant of forests adjacent to pristine, spring-fed brooks, seepages and small rivers. Southern pygmy clubtail larvae are intolerant of excessive sedimentation and therefore are excellent indicators of high quality waters.
