Un petit nouveau.

Vu hier, mais de loin. 2 photos au 300mm...mais toujours un grand plaisir de voir un nouveau spécimen.

The Blue Dasher

The Pachydiplax longipennis, Blue Dasher, is a small skimmer (25-33 cm) with a large personality. They are common around the ponds and I even see them in my yard from time to time.

These smiling, little beauties don't mind the camera.

September and October yield large numbers of these dragons. All photos were taken over the past month, except the below photo.
