Side view of a male Twelve-Spotted Skimmer dragonfly, showing dark brown eyes, brown thorax with a yellow stripe and lighter brown abdomen partially covered by powdery blue pruinescence.

This is by far the most obliging Twelve-Spotted Skimmer I've ever photographed. They're wary as a rule, and often choose perches well over my head.
