Blue Dasher dragonfly. This is the only dragonfly that lets me get really close.
The Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) is a dragonfly of the skimmer family.
As do all dragonflies, they have excellent vision because of their large multi-faceted eyes.
They sometimes orient themselves in different positions relative to the sun, either to maximize or minimize heat gain, depending on temperature. They tip the abdomen upward in what is called the "obelisk" position.As they age, their wings are tattered from wear and tear.
