Anax junius
A Common Green Darner dragonfly perching in vegetation near the end of the boardwalk at Huntley Meadows Park. This individual is a young male, as indicated by its partially pruinose abdomen; as a mature adult, abdominal segments two through six will be bright blue. Dragonflies shelter in dense vegetation sometimes to avoid predators, including aggressive adult males of the same species.
