Field Notes
Description:
A Wandering Glider dragonfly spotted near the end of the boardwalk at Huntley Meadows Park. I think this individual is a male; expert second opinions are invited and welcome. It is uncommon to see the broad-winged skimmers from the genus Pantala perching. Dragonflies are classified as either “fliers” or “perchers,” based upon their feeding habits. Wandering Gliders are fliers.
Habitat:
Huntley Meadows Park, a 1,425 acre wetland area in Fairfax County, Virginia USA. Related Resource: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/huntley/
