Neon Skimmer Dragonfly (female)

The females are a dull orange, stout, and have essentially clear wings. There is a flange near the tip of their abdomen and when they lay eggs, this causes a drop of water to splash several inches away. The females lay one egg at a time by flying over the water and dipping into the water each time. The splash often distracts our fish away from the egg, which floats slowly down into the water.
