Of Course
While at the Lotus Pond was saw plenty of dragonflies all over the place.
Found a good spot and waited for some to land - and wouldn't you know it, this green fellow landed on the ground right next to my feet. Filled with excitement I waited for it to fly to one of the reeds in front of me but it never did. It took off and then promptly returned to the same spot next to my feet. Of course!
So, bending over to try and get a decent shot I managed this one. Glad I did, too, because shortly afterward it pulled a Houdini and disappeared. I'm thinking this may be an immature male Eastern Pondhawk. Let me know if you know differently.
Frustrated at Dauset Trails Nature Center.
