A Blue Dasher With a Closeup
Wednesday, September 6, 2023,
This is a Blue Dasher I found at Frank Melville Memorial Park in Setauket. Both of these pictures are just two different crops of the same photograph. I just wanted to show some of the finer detail in this guy’s face and thorax. Be sure to click on each pic for a better view. Pretty cool, isn’t it? JK

Eastern Pondhawk
Wednesday, September 23, 2020,
This beautiful critter is called the Eastern Pondhawk. It’s a dragonfly and, to be honest, I think all dragonflies are beautiful. This one’s a female. The males look completely different, having chalky blue bodies. I really like this striking green coloration, although it can be difficult to spot them amongst the greens of summer. It can be even harder to make them stand out in a photograph. I hope I did okay. JK.
