ciliata?
Stood in front of a patch of dogbane for over two hours before this single male showed up for about ten seconds and then disappeared again. Along this single few hundred foot stretch of powerline corridor there must have been over a thousand whorled loosestrife in bloom. No bees were ever seen on any of them. This patch of dogbane was maybe 20 plants.
I tried to get photos of the hind tibial spurs but it's not super clear to me - I've never examined any male Macropis specimens so I'm not sure how to interpret those character states in the DL key. To me it looks like this male has at least one normal tibial spur, but I'm not certain. Facial maculation appears to match ciliata.
There was also a Holcopasites on the dogbane, sadly I couldn't get a photo before it took off. I don't believe there are any known records of Holcopasites calliopsidis in Hillsborough Co.

Going out on a limb here and adding a species ID where it didn't have one previously; photos aren't great but necessary characters seem visible here. Inner mandible tooth truncate, flattened. Pale hair on gena and forecoxa, T2 with some black.

Chrysops mitisObserv.
jdeeDescripción
I figure I have a 50/50 chance ... mitis or ater. C Mitis would be a 1st for me so give that a shot. I don't see any white spot on cua1. Is the Base of wing cell cua1 infuscated? Somewhat but maybe not enough which might make this C ater?

Perching on a rock in the middle of the stream below the waterfall. Curiously iNat thinks the dragonfly in this position is a beaverpond clubtail, but calls the same dragonfly in the two profile images a harpoon clubtail.
