I think this is an Eastern Ringtail. It was found on August 5th, at the Shenandoah River State Park in Virginia. What a neat bug!
Calico Pennant (Celithemis elisa), female, taken April 22, 2025, in Georgia, US
What I thought was a lifer dragonfly, but turned out to be the female of a species I've seen once before! This lady seemed quite relaxed around me, flying almost lazily through the air and allowing me to get very close (for a dragonfly). As far as dragonflies go, this species is quite small, and so is the rest of their genus, aptly named "small pennants"!
Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis), male, taken April 13, 2025, in Georgia, US
My first dasher of the year! I found several species of odonates at this pond bank. There were dozens of dragonflies and damselflies zipping about, though this guy made the best picture by far. I love how this species sits—they pose excellently for photos!
Blue Corporal (Ladona deplanata), female, taken March 28, 2025, in Georgia, US
Behold: my first dragonfly of the year! This lady landed right in front of me on the creek bank, and who am I to say no to a dragonfly, especially one I didn't recognize? I would love to see more of these—the shade of brown on her is absolutely gorgeous! I presume that since mosquitoes aren't out much yet, she's eating other midges and the small caddisflies that are currently abundant here. Now that I know there are dragonflies out and about, I'll have to start checking all their favorite perching spots again!
Eastern Pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis), female, taken June 29, 2024, in Georgia, US
I only have a small collection of dragonfly closeups, but they're some of my favorite pictures! When I took this one, this lady wasn't doing too hot. It had rained earlier in the day so she may have been tired, but she let me hold her and lift her onto a tree! This was taken before I gave her a hand, and you can see all of the little hairs on her body. Super neat!
Slaty Skimmer (Libellula incesta), male, taken July 30, 2024, in Georgia, US
Dragonflies remain fierce contenders for my favorite photo subjects, at least amongst bugs! For their size and speed, they're very cooperative. I've even had some take advantage of the mosquito cloud following me to grab a snack! This guy just sat on the tip of this stick and helped me make some sick looking pictures!
Blue-faced Meadowhawk (Sympetrum ambiguum), male, taken September 5, 2024, in Georgia, US
In terms of dragonfly season here, these guys fly really late, right about at the end. I think this was actually one of the last ones I saw last year—he was definitely the last I photographed. What a fiery way to end the season, though! This guy is gorgeous, and he posed very well for me! Sometimes I swear bugs want me to take their pictures, and who am I to say no to such a handsome guy?
