Common green darner, female (Anax junius) by Vicki's Nature A major migrant and often the first arrival across the East. Both males and females beautiful close up! Most of ours head on north for the Summer ... as they head back south in the Fall their flight coincides with Monarch butterflies headed to the Gulf coast (we've driven along with them both!). at the wetlands in April Have a good Sunday night ... stay warm! >> check out this beautiful article about dragonflies that my husband came across - especially what scientists have discovered about the migration of CGD's - how fast & how many miles they can cover! www.nwf.org/Magazines/National-Wildlife/2020/April-May/Co... https://flic.kr/p/2iZMK87
Common green darner, female (Anax junius) by Vicki's Nature After the Stream cruiser finally flew, as I backed away to move on I turned and took one last look to see if it re-perched - and saw this lady CGD hanging a few feet from where the cruiser had been! We returned yesterday and things were much slower but I did get a foty Lancet clubtail eating a mystery bug - I'll post soon. Was able to get very close to the Cruiser and this CGD so shot in SuperMacro. p.s. covered in pine pollen - I didn't even sharpen. Stay well! https://flic.kr/p/2iLWymJ
