Eastern Pondhawk
Erythemis simplicicollis
44.1477, -94.0953
Field Notes
Description:
The mature eastern pondhawk male (see photo) is a beautiful powder blue. Females and immature males are a bright green with black markings on the tail.
Habitat:
I find these dragonflies near still waters and perched either on low bushes or on bare patches of ground, such as paths.
Notes:
Eastern Pondhawks are aggressive even by dragonfly standards. They often capture and feed on other dragonflies their own size.
