A Blue Dasher dragonfly, a member of the skimmer family of dragonflies, spotted during a Fairfax County Parktakes class on the dragonflies of Huntley Meadows Park. The male dragonfly shown in my photo is held by Mr. P.J. Dunn, class instructor and a professional naturalist with the Resource Management Division, Fairfax County Park Authority. Editor's Note: No dragonflies were injured or killed in the making of this photo. Please don't try this yourself -- collecting specimens for observation is not allowed at Huntley Meadows Park.
