A Happy Guy, Pt. 2 - _TNY_7639
After finishing our dinner on the patio, I noticed several darters landing near us and whipped out my camera.
Here is a vagrant darter (Sympetrum vulgatum), also known as the moustached darter, and from the red colour we can say it is a male.
That mouth looks friendly and smiling, but if you have witnessed a dragonfly eating you know that it is quite a grisly sight when they open their face up and devour the poor unfortunate victim.
