Libellula incesta, the Slaty skimmer;
Lowndes county, Georgia (19 June 2012).
Slaty skimmers were about a dime a dozen during my two years in South Georgia. We had soooo many of these in the backyard during the summer months. Though predictable, perhaps, in their habits, I never tired of watching them slate and skim their way around the backyard.
