This species also photographed on 29 June 2000, on 15 and 17 July 2000, on 28 June 2001, and on 6, 7, 10, 12 and 14 July 2002.  Haploa lecontei shows the most variation of any Haploa species observed at my location.  Unfortunately, if one looks at five different illustrations of this species on the Internet, or in my two main reference books, no two illustrations are the same.  Since my references indicate this is a highly variable species, ranging to almost entirely white, I decided to include as many variations here as I had observed.  Because some versions of H. lecontei strongly resemble H. confusa, it is entirely possible that one or two of my identifications are incorrect, in which case please let me know.  Also, if some of the variations included here are actually variants of other Haploa species, I would appreciate knowing.
