centuryplant: A Halloween Pennant dragonfly (Default)
[personal profile] centuryplant

This is an Eastern Amberwing dragonfly. They're tiny -- less than an inch long -- and usually, very flighty. I'd never had much luck photographing them until last year, when I found this one sitting on a stick at the edge of a lake. He'd clearly decided that part of the lake was his breeding territory, and there weren't any other perches that would bear his weight, so while he did fly away a few times, he always came back to the same place. That was his stick and he wasn't going to give it up -- not for me, not for the family with the very large dog splashing around nearby.

The sun shining through his wings made a ghost dragonfly on the sand.
