This large and incredibly fresh spreadwing was nectaring in the Huachucas the other day.
At the time, seduced by the bright, warm color of the head, I called it a golden-headed scallopwing, but I’m fairly certain that that’s wrong (as much fun as that name is to say). But of course, dull firetip is a pretty fancy name, too, and probably closer to an accurate identification.
