Arrowhead Spiketail - foty & Rare!
Arrowhead Spiketails (Cordulegaster obliqua) are one of our biggest dragonflies (> 3" long) & a favorite of mine. Also rare - I have a population @ the wetlands but our Summer drought started last May when they were trying to lay eggs. So, especially good to see one again - in our VERY wet May - it's a slog fest out there!
I also managed to step onto a hidden fire ant hill as I was shooting this guy - my husband spotted it first & said I had about 100 ants swarming my hiking boots! I was trying to avoid the poison ivy ;-(
