Pantala flavescens
A Wandering Glider dragonfly spotted near the end of the boardwalk at Huntley Meadows Park. I think this individual is a male; expert second opinions are invited and welcome. It is uncommon to see the broad-winged skimmers from the genus Pantala perching. Dragonflies are classified as either “fliers” or “perchers,” based upon their feeding habits. Wandering Gliders are fliers.
