the sexual dimorphism of dragonflies is always interesting! the male Scarlet Percher above is feiry red all over, while his female counterpart below is a subdued brown, with a subtle scarlet gradient on her abdomen.

(top) Scarlet Percher, male (Diplacodes haematodes).

(bottom) Scarlet Percher, female (Diplacodes haematodes).

The “Twister” Dragonfly

Its bright red coloring reminds me of an old airplane.

Scientific Name: Perithemis tenera Common Name(s): Eastern amberwing Family: Libellulidae (skimmer) Life Stage(s): Adult Location: Plano, Texas Season(s): Summer

smol.

The common name is pretty self-explanatory. At around 0.8″ to 1.0″ (20–25 mm) long, this is the second smallest dragonfly in North America; it’s bested only by the elfin skimmer, which has different coloration. This species is common throughout the eastern 2/3 of the U.S., and, away from the U.S.-Mexico border where it shares habitat with other amberwings, its size and color should make it easy to identify. (BugGuide says: “Except along the U.S.-Mexican border, this is the only tiny dragonfly with amber wings on the male.”) The main difference between males and females is in the wings: males have clear amber wings, whereas females’ wings are more variable and can have dark patches.
