Field Notes

Description:

Just like it's name this one mainly patrolled a small pond along with other species. Similar in appearance to the Blue Dasher. The dasher has an almost white face but the Pondhawk has a darker one. Also in most cases the dasher has markings on the thorax and the these do not.

Habitat:

Ponds and marshes

Notes:

Very suspicious of me.
