Sympetrum occidentale
This is the only dragonfly I saw all day on Antelope Island. The temperature was right around 60 degrees when I found this
one resting in a bush. Isn't it perfect? Must have just hatched out. It's late for dragonflies but I have found them (a
Variegated Meadowhawk) as late as November 30th. Seems like it would be a dangerous time for dragonflies
with all the birds in migration. © Carol Davis 10-23-2009
