I saw this dragonfly and, thinking myself clever, thought "ah! I know those wing markings, that's a (female) common whitetail" but no! When looking them up at home, I found out that this is actually a twelve-spotted skimmer, Libellula pulchella, either a female or a naiad but I don't know enough to tell the difference. Turns out dragonflies come in confusing plumage as well! And now I know how to tell them apart. #dragonflies #insectphotography
