Arrowhead Spiketail dragonfly (male)

Cordulegaster obliqua

Description:

I discovered an Arrowhead Spiketail dragonfly (Cordulegaster obliqua) while exploring a small stream at a remote location in Huntley Meadows Park. This individual is a male, as indicated by the “indentations” on its hind wings (near the body). Arrowhead Spiketails are an uncommon species of dragonfly formerly unknown to occur at Huntley Meadows Park. Related Resource: http://www.friendsofhuntleymeadows.org/S...
