Insects from Jackson County

Slaty Skimmer Dragonfly

My daughter and her husband have a cabin in Jackson County.  I was there on a recent visit and had a chance to photograph some of the insects.  I was sitting, literally, in the pond on my milk carton when I made all the captures except the butterfly.

Slaty Skimmer

The pond bottom is very gradual at the location where I sat in about 6 - 8 inches of water.  I really think that the insects are hams and like to have their pictures taken.

Vesper Bluet

This damselfly was laying eggs, ovipositing.

Eastern Amberwing

This is a small dragonfly.  I have photographed it at Gorman but not with this beautiful background.

Great Spangled Fritillary Butterfly

They had more of this butterfly than I have ever seen in one place, even at Gorman.  The Milkweeds are in full bloom but at Gorman I have only seen one budded.

For those unfamiliar with Ohio, Jackson is about 2 1/2 hours south of Mansfield.
