Painted Skimmer

Libellula semifasciata

Description:

Wingspan of about 2.5 inches.

Notes:

This dragonfly had gotten itself into a bit of a predicament. It flopped down right in the middle of the pond and was unable to get itself back out of the water. So, I grabbed a fallen tree branch and fished it out! Seemed to be pretty weak. Perhaps it was dying?
