Hello,
We are in North Carolina this week. For the first three days we were hiking
the dragonflies were EVERYWHERE. I've never seen so many bugs in my life!! I
had a dragonfly land on my lips and on my hand. Billy had one on his shoulder
and Alosha even had one on his nose! I'll share my sightings and pictures once
I get through them. I'm still working through the first day photos and already
have several lifers!
I think this is a Harlequin Darner. Thoughts? It was hanging off a dead plant
and never moved the entire time I walked around it taking pictures. Lighting
was bad, but I have some shots (although not great ones) from different
angles. June appears to be late for this bug, but I don't think it is a
Taper-tailed Darner which appears to be seen through June. This was seen in
Tyrrell County at the Palmetto-Peartree Preserve near Columbia TN. ( Busted on
the red-cockaded woodpeckers.)
