Common Whitetail

Libellula lydia

Description:

About 4 inches across, three brown spots on each wing, with the ones closest to the body only extending about 1/4 of the way across the wing. The body is brown with yellow dashes, so this is a female.

Habitat:

It was in a mixed pine-hardwood forest, about .1 mile away from a pond.
