Although I usually try to get close up for my dragonfly photos, I am unusually pleased with this image I took yesterday of an immature male Widow Skimmer dragonfly (Libellula luctuosa), which has an artistic quality that is not always found in my close-ups.
For those who might be curious about the identification, the white on the wings indicates that it is a male (females have only dark blotches) and the yellow and black body indicates that it is immature,because adult males have bluish-colored bodies.

That’s a very nice photograph. The focus (depth of field?) is well crafted.
Hi Mike, Does white on the wings indicate male for all dragonflies or just this one? Donna
It depends on the species. I’ve learned that with many butterfly species the males and females may be different colored and have different patterns and the immature ones may look different from the adults. Dragonfly identification can be tough and it’s even worse with damselflies.
