A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Libellula lydia
The male's chunky white body (about 5 cm long), combined with the brownish-black bands on its otherwise translucent wings, give it a checkered look.
This is a city maintained retention pond that is stocked for local fishing.
Took the photo of the female yesterday. Finally got a male to stay still today.
