Holy smokes, a new dragonfly arrives to the pond. Haven't seen this one before either. Isn't it neat?

Amazing picture!!! I think it's a Black Saddlebags.
We're just starting to see dragonflies pretty regularly again.
Hope I come across one of those. He's a beauty!

Hurray, Sophie wins a cupie doll! I've never seen one either until now. This one's the female with perpendicular, longer anal appendages, whereas the male has shorter ones shaped in a v in order to clasp the female's head during mating or in tandem, hence the name claspers.

You might've outdone yourownself with these! Absolutely amazing pictures! Regal Darner? We've only had an occasional dragonfly, so far. It got cold again the past few nights, but it oughtn't be too much longer before it's warm enough for them. ICA, Sophie ^i^

My field guide doesn't have a very good pic of one, but now that I've Googled a few, I think maybe you're right. Did all your dragonflies disappear for a few days after the hurricane? Ours have returned and brought a few friends, as well. I saw my first (for our yard) female Common Whitetail the other day. Still looking for her mate. ICA, Sophie ^i^

That is the strangest looking dragonfly I have ever seen. Very cool looking. We only have a couple different kinds around here. I have seen the fire engine red ones and fluorescent green ones, very pretty, but mostly the blue/green ones that get very big. We love them, my daughters and I always play with them when we are at the pool.
