Photos taken at the Gardon the St Jean, near St Jean du Gard, Southern France, 18th of July 2001

Note: These exuviae (larval cases) are HUGE!!! Usually, I collect exuviae in empty slide film capsules, but those are way too small for these monstrousities. We collected 4 undamaged and one damaged exuviae, which is very rare. We only observed one imago flying by, but we were a bit late in the season.
