Field Notes
Description:
Large blue and brown Dragonfly with a yellowish-green colored face
Habitat:
On a quiet dirt road running between farm fields
Notes:
I came across this extremely large dragonfly laying on the dirt road and assumed he was dead or had been injured by a vehicle. I took a couple pictures out the car window and when he didn't fly away, I got out to check on him. Once outside the car, I took a few more images of him from the side before approaching him. He was moving his head slightly so I knew he was alive at this point and thought I'd pick him up and at least move him off the road to somewhere safer. It wasn't until my hand made contact that he suddenly came to life and flew away. Whenever I've come across these larger dragonflies, they seem skittish and fly away except on rare occasions such as this. I don't know my dragonflies very well but love them just the same.
