Field Notes
Description:
I found this dragonfly dead on the ground in my backyard. It hadn't stiffened yet (although I'm not sure insects work exactly the same way we do) and there was a wound on its eye you can see in the third picture. In the fourth picture you can see the coin magnifier I was using to take closer pictures of it. I think it was about two inches or less from nose to tail.
Habitat:
There is a stream in the neighborhood nearby, some fields, and lots of trees.
Notes:
Identified by Jellis. Pictures taken with iPhone 5.
