Yellow-sided skimmer - gold male turning adult blue (Libellula flavida)
We just saw an immature male Yellow-sided 5 days before this (photo below) ... and I wondered if we'd get to see a male turning blue. Here he is! Still with the pale lateral thoracic markings. This is #5 for the species this past month ... rare and an unusual skimmer being blue but with the golden-amber stigmas & leading edges to the wings! at the wetlands 2 days ago, North Georgia
