Sympetrum obtrusum
The White-faced Meadowhawk: - is a dragonfly of the genus Sympetrum. Adult males are identifiable by a distinctive pure white face and red bodies. Similar species: Juvenile White-faced Meadowhawks - are almost indistinguishable from the Ruby and Cherry-faced Meadowhawks. The three species habitats also overlap extensively. White-faces can be identified by having white faces, as the name implies, at maturit.
Marshes, ponds, lakes, slow-moving streams, occasionally bogs.
