Wildlife Spotting

Bugs are hard to identify, in part because there are so many of them. Many species you would have to take a "key" to figure it out (basically saying does it have trait A6 if so go to B9, if not, continue to A7)(eventually it leads to a specie name). Also, if your insect is not super charismatic, already easy to identify, or a pest, then don't expect much help from the web. Here is what I could find though: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2010/07/31/young-male-eastern-pondhawk-and-unknown-dragonfly/ http://www.njodes.com/Speciesaccts/skimmers/skim-grea.asp http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/insects/dfly/al/389.htm

See what you think of the Blue dashser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Dasher

Aren't cooperative insects great! Damsels fold their wings back when they are perched. Did it do that? Otherwise it's a dragonfly.

Fantastic photo.
