Plathemis lydia
Males have a chunky short body and wings have a brownish black band. Mature males have a short, stout abdomen that is completely chalky blue-white covering. This was one of many males at the pond.
This is a city maintained retention pond.
Returned to this pond to evaluate the impact of a two consecutive days of aerial spraying for West Nile. Water level in the retention pond is down several inches.
