| Shadow Darner |
This is one of the late season dragonflies active at this time of the year. I have been seeing them for several weeks. The other dragonflies, for the most part, are all gone. I had been unable to get a shot of the Shadow Darner until the other morning, sunless and kind of cool, I observed one hoovering over a vernal pool. It performed a lot of this behavior, enough that I thought that I might be able to photograph it. I had several shots that I considered usable on a limited basis, of which this was one. It is by far the best shot that I have of this dragonfly in flight. This one is probably a male. They are known to fly into early November, the latest of any other darner. My information comes from the ODNR Field Guide,
Common Dragonflies & Damselflies of Ohio.
