found this dragonfly on 25th July, 2012. the shot was taken at 7:22 pm, using my Canon PowerShot SX40 HS. it was a bit cloudy and the Sun was about to set. had to shoot, hence, in low light. the dragonfly was at far, the grasses on which she was perching were also not still due to continuous wind. but managed some details. happy for that.
yes, i found this dragonfly in my 'treasure island'. it was my first sighting of this dragonfly. well, may be had seen before, but not noticed..
Halloween Pennant (Celithemis eponina) is a North American dragonfly (central & east) which belongs to the family 'Libellulidae'. Libellulidae is the family of Skimmers and is the LARGEST dragonfly family in the world.
the average size of this dragonfly is 30-42 mm.
Halloween Pennant basically lives around ponds, marshes and lakes and often perched on weedy stems.
i too, found this dragonfly besides a pond and in a marshland.
this is basically a Florida dragonfly :)
also abundant in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and New Mexico.
