Tramea carolina, the Carolina saddlebags;
Lowndes county, Georgia (19 June 2013).
A quick reference shot of a Carolina saddlebags that was hanging out on our back patio light back in Valdosta a few clicks back on the odometer of life. Saddlebags were fairly common patio visitors at that house. They were also more approachable than most of the other species at night. Once they settled in next to a patio light, they were pretty intent to stay settled in. I absolutely adore their wing pattern.
