Aeshna
Taylorsville, Utah
These two shots were taken with my larger camera and show the color a little more accurately. What I don't understand
about this dragonfly are the triangular-shaped sections of the bottom wings that are closest to the body. I haven't seen
these before and the color contrast really stands out. The photos below, taken with a different camera with a flash,
show it a little closer up.
When I was looking at the area without the camera, those sections stood out vividly and were a light, almost white,
color (I have circled them in yellow in the above photo). I wonder if anyone knows what kind of dragonfly this is?
Maybe the whitish areas become more transparent as the dragonfly matures. © Carol Davis, 6-30-2010
