Field Notes

Description:

This Dragonfly had large brown eyes and dark head & thorax with a plump-flat-light-blue abdomen, and clear wings with black middle stripes on each one in the middle and a small black spot on each wing near where it attaches to the body.

Habitat:

This Dragonfly was resting on the warm stone wall. There is a creek area about 1/4 mile from where I spotted this Dragonfly.
