Halloween pennant dragonfly

Celithemis eponina

Description:

Its wings are orange-yellow in color, though its markings are dark brown, not black as is commonly believed; the entirely orange-yellow wings with dark brown bands are what has given it its Halloween common name and its typical position of being perched at the tip of a weed stalk, waving in the breeze like a pennant contributes to the remainder of its common name.

Habitat:

Jordan Lake lakeshore field
