Blue Dasher Dragonfly

Blue Dasher Dragonfly Male
The Blue Dasher is a medium to small sized dragonfly.  They are quite common at Gorman.

The males are quite photogenic because they perch often and return to the same perch.

Blue Dasher Dragonfly Female
The female ,on the other hand, is difficult to photograph because she is laying eggs, ovipositing.  You almost have to catch her in flight.  They mate in a wheel.

They are one of my favorite dragonflies to photograph as you may have noted from the above comments.

They can also be slightly comical.

I think they like to pose.
