black saddlebags dragonfly

As the days and nights cool, the insects are slowing down. This fellow was immobile on the ground, so I picked him up and set him in the lilacs lest the cats decide it was a plaything. I've never seen such markings before. It's quite beautiful. Reminds me of a butterfly when the wings are moving.
What a beautiful capture of this unusual fellow.

Incredible looking dragonfly. Good description, or is that it's real name?

Sensational! Whenever I spot a dragonfly they are always moving - very quickly - in five directions at once!
