The
books all
say that
dragonflies
are found near water. But they also patrol lawns and parking
lots.
Even a small lawn far from the nearest pond may attract
dragonflies
occasionally. It is difficult to get good pictures of dragonflies
in
flight. This black Saddlebags skimmer cooperated by resting on
one of my geraniums
long enough for me to get my camera. The black markings on its
hind wings give this skimmer its common name.
