Hey that's My Perch!

Some dragonflies have favorite perches, and  this 12 Spot Skimmer favored this one. When I got too close he would fly directly in front of my face and hover there for a couple of seconds like he was trying to chase me away.

Either that or he was waiting for me to kick up some supper...

Dragonfly

Look at those wing spots! What a beauty this 12 Spot Skimmer is. These dragonflies were numerous and newly emerging last week at Potato Creek State Park.

The dragonflies followed me down the bike path and over trails munching the insects that were munching on me. I'm eternally grateful for dragonflies.
