More bugs

I love when I look up the name of some exotic insect I have never seen before only to find out it is common.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_whitetail

According to my Google search and Wikipedia, this is the male common whitetail or long-tailed skimmer dragonfly.

The only common thing about this for me is that I saw one here yesterday (best pic I could get) and the same kind on Wednesday over at Colin's house about a mile from here while I was walking his beagle.

  1. That dragonfly was a common occurrence where I grew up around Brooks and ponds. I don't think I have seen one in decades.
