I am not 100 % sure of the ID on this insect but this is as close as I could find in my field guide.
Slight wind blowing when I took the shot so the image is a little soft.
Captured while out for a walk on the River St bridge to Lemieux Island last night. Taken hand held, but I might have to go back with a tripod someday and see what can be done. Nice target of opportunity. With no clouds, the sky was orange for all of about 3-4 minutes and then a duller blue/black.

I have never seen a male Widow Skimmer until this one and he was so far into the reeds, that I held no hope of having caught a decent picture, having to thread my camera's eye through a tight spot in all the vegetation. But I think this came out pretty OK. Kind of soft and not too much detail, but isn't he beautifully marked?
