Widow Skimmer - Male

Description:

Mature males have a large basal area of brown on each of the four wings, and each wing also has a whitish area roughly at the middle. Their brown bodies become increasingly pruinose (whitish) as they get older. Females and immature males have the same brown wing bands as the mature males, but not the whitish areas. Wings usually have a brown tip. A dorsal view of the abdomen shows a brown band at center with a yellow stripe running along each side.

Habitat:

Most commonly found at lakes and ponds, sometimes at streams, and sometimes well away from water. http://bugguide.net/node/view/586
