This is a female Common Whitetail Skimmer. The male has a white tail. The wings .. classic dragonfly stuff.

Bet you expected a deer.
This time it is a Common Whitetail Skimmer. I have not seen too many and I am still trying to get a better photo of the wings, but this is not bad. Those eyees are nuts.

This is a male Eastern Pondhawk. It's a dragonfly, but I have not taken many photos of a male Pondhawk. The color was amazing and the photo does not do it justice. The female has much more green. They eat other insects .. a true canrivore.

This is a Halloween Pennant. It is a dragonfly, and a skimmer. I love this description from Wikipedia:
The Halloween pennant has been described as looking very similar to a butterfly. Its wings are entirely orange-yellow in color with dark brown bands, the Halloween inspiration for its common name. Dragonflies of its genus perch at the tips of plants, waving in the breeze like pennants. The young has yellow markings, including a stripe on its back. The adult male and female may develop pale red markings, especially on the face. This species is about 38 to 42 millimetres long. It is orange.
Very cool!!
