actually, it’s a Libellula pulchella (Twelve-spotted Skimmer)… what i discovered between the time i submitted the photo and the time it actually shows up…
actually, it’s a cedar tree
Actually it’s a photograph of a cedar tree.
in review, it’s a libellula pulchella that while CAPABLE of flight, is in fact perched upon a cedar tree. Lets see who wants to break this one down further…
It’s a picture of all the crap you just said.
and the point goes to the colonel
no, actually, it’s not…
EEEEEEWWWWWWWW
I got this guys. It’s a dragon fly.
actually, it’s a damselfly. dragonflies hold their wings at 90 degree angles to their body, and damselflies hold their wings paralell to their body.
No, it’s a skimmer, and you got dragons and damsels mixed up. The latter fold their wings up straight up from their thorax. Dragonflies and skimmers, like this one, hold them straight out.
