Flame Skimmer

Libellula saturata

Description:

This dragon fly, about 2 inches long, orange coloured body and wings.....very active

Habitat:

near water bodies, ponds, lakes

Notes:

This one was continuously hovering around my sitting area while I was trying to get shots of some birds.It was trying to distract me and intentionally get all my attention, and yes it did succeed. And as if it has understood that i am now taking its snap(not sure if it was a male or female)......sat around near a twig emerging out of water for about 10 odd minutes.....and than got back to its hovering......sometimes nature does talk to us, only we need eyes and senses to interact.
