Once in a Lifetime

I have no problem finding them on the wing, but most don't seem to stop at all except (sometimes) for mating, usually somewhere really inaccessible, like the top of a tree on the other side of a body of water, or ovipositing, usually somewhere inaccessible without waders (and some of the places I go really don't want people wading because they're worried about zebra mussel spread). Every now and then they'll hover nearby, just long enough to taunt me with the possibility of a flight shot, but not long enough for me to focus. They especially like to do this when I don't have a camera.

The one orange bluet pair I saw last fall, it was fairly late in the day (and season).
