Do you have a favorite dragonfly? One of my favorites is the Unicorn Clubtail (Arigomphus villosipes)—I love both its appearance and its name. Earlier this week, on the last day of May, I spent some time chasing an elusive unicorn at Huntley Meadows Park and captured a few photos of it. The second shot gives you a glimpse of the “horn” between the dragonfly’s eyes that is responsible for the first part of its name.

I don’t know them well enough to have a favorite so I just love them all. Excellent shots of these!
Thanks, Allen. Dragonflies have become one of my favorite subjects to photograph in the summer and I love learning more about them. I am utterly fascinate by their beauty and aerobatic skills.
