Field Notes

Description:

This dragonfly no longer appears to be teneral based on the coloring; however, the wings are not developed correctly. There is a green thing between the wings that I'm unable to zoom in on with the limited zoom of my lens.

Habitat:

A distant rock at the foot of a small waterfall at San Diego Zoo Safari Park
