I was happy to see that at least a few Swift Setwing dragonflies (Dythemis velox) were still around this past Friday at Jackson Miles Abbott Wetland Refuge. We are gradually moving to a time of the summer when some dragonfly species decrease in numbers or disappear. Fortunately, a few fall species will appear soon to take their places.

Awesome 👍
Oh gosh, Michael, what a gorgeous photo of this dragonfly. Delicate wings and markings are captured so beautifully.
Thanks, Jet. Some dragonflies look more robust, but this one definitely looks delicate with its super slim body and fragile wings.
