Libellula needhami, the Needham’s skimmer;
Volusia county, Florida (02 July 2019).
Here’s an iPhone shot of a Needham’s skimmer I came across along the edge of a roadside culvert in downtown Daytona Beach. Though I’m happy my phone was able to get this clear a shot, I really wish I’d had my Nikon with me at that moment. This skimmer was unusually patient and still! This is not a species I come across often (or can typically get close to).
