I photographed this stunning Lancet Clubtail dragonfly (Phanogomphus exilis) last Monday on a rotten log in the dappled sunlight as I was exploring an area near a creek in Prince William County, Virginia. Of course, I was excited to photograph this dragonfly, but it was actually the interesting lighting and the rough texture of the log that mainly captured my attention.

I saw a dragon fly in a field today. I think I may go out at lunchtime tomorrow in search of some.
Good luck with your hunt for dragonflies.
