Despite their differences in size and appearance, the Eastern Amberwing (Perithemis tenera) and the Common Whitetail (Plathemis lydia) dragonflies were able to co-exist peacefully and both were able to enjoy the same perch this morning at Huntley Meadows Park.
Why is it so hard for us to do the same?

I saw this same thing last weekend. There were, of course, some territorial skirmishes, but they often shared the same perch.
Most of the biggest skirmishes that I see are between males of the same species, who are in direct competition in attracting the ladies. Sometimes there will be battles among species, but it is cool to see the perch-sharing that often goes on.
