Description
Isn't it dreamy? I tried to identify this dragonfly but the closest I could get was Erythrodiplax funerea (Black-winged Dragonlet). I had no idea there are so many different species of dragonflies. Note the markings on the wings from the thorax outwards and then the little marking on the edge of the wing. I could not find a species that showed this along with golden markings down the back. If you know what species this dragonfly is, I welcome your info. Please let me know!
Every time we go walking at the ranch I watch and see different ones but so many have similar characteristics.
This one in particular was so happy to pose for me. :) It's funny now the dragonflies will stick around and let you get close to them to take their pictures.
