If my boyfriend were a bug I think he' be a Common Blue Damselfly- and he think I'd be the grub of a Western Hercules Beetle!

Thus, I decided to draw us as them!

The king of the midsummer pond, Libellula pulchella, the Twelve-spotted Skimmer. True to their specific epithet (pulchella = beautiful little), they're one of the most gorgeous northeastern dragonflies.

This guy was perched on a dead tree next to a small pool, making sure the other male skimmers (Libellula cyanea and Libellula semifasciata) didn't get too close to his territory

Sometimes the white spots on their wings, as well as the pruinosity on their abdomen, will even reflect slightly blue

Bug of the Day

I always feel special when I find an Odonate at night. This damselfly came to a moth sheet back in July. Not sure what it is yet beyond something in the Coenagrionidae family.

Update: It's a sedge sprite!

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.

"craaaaawling on your skiiiiiiin, these buuuugs, they will not heeeeal..."

I was linked to this iNat observation and the joke was too perfect.

[Image ID: a roseate skimmer dragonfly being held by its wings. It is grey and brown, and its mouth is open. four of its legs are held out from its body, and a microphone is photoshopped into its "hands" so that it looks like the dragonfly is singing into it. End ID.]
