I got one shot of this beautiful female Spangled Skimmer dragonfly before she flew away. I was SO LUCKY the dragonfly is clearly in focus! Two anatomical features are visible in the photo: the black and white pterostigma located near each wing tip; and the female terminal appendages located at the end of the abdomen.
