A Purple Carnivore

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.

What Kind Of Hawk?

We have not seen many buterflies but the dragonflies are very active. This is a Eastern Pondhawk. It is a skimmer. I love the details.

Those Wings

We are starting to see a lot of Dragon flies. This one is a female Eastern Pondhawk. It is also refered to as a Common Pondhawk. Yes, it is a skimmer.

I love the details in their wings. It is long enough that some blur was created in the tail. I should have caught that before I snappped the photo.
