Widow Skimmer dragonfly (male)

Libellula luctuosa

Description:

A male Widow Skimmer dragonfly spotted during an Audubon Naturalist Society field trip to the North Tract of the Patuxent Research Refuge. This was my first spotting of a Widow Skimmer. Admittedly not my best work, these photos were taken the first time I ever used a DSLR.

Habitat:

Lake Allen, Patuxent Research Refuge, Laurel, Maryland USA. Related Resource: http://www.fws.gov/refuge/Patuxent/
