Dragonflies

Slaty Skimmer

I think this is the only one of these I saw this year.

Widow Skipper

I saw almost none of these this year.  Normally they are very numerous.

Common Whitetail Female

Twelve-spotted Skimmer

I normally sit by the vernal pool and use these dragonflies for target practice with my camera.  I only sat by the pool a few times this past summer because there were almost none of these.

Painted Skimmer

This was a new addition for my collection of images.

Common Whitetail exoskeleton

The dragonfly has molted here.  It climbed out of the pool to this point after living under water for about three years.

Ruby Meadowhawk

This is one of the reasons I use flash on dragonflies.  The light on the thorax and head would not have been strong enough without it.
