I feel like a gun slinger in the wild west, only with a camera ..... I was waiting for hubby to get the car out of the garage and there on the stone beside me was this young male Common Whitetail. I whipped the camera out of my bag and had a pic before I blinked! I hadn't really ever noticed these until 365, and now I'm learning all about them! I originally thought this was a female but after further investigation [thanks Susan!], it seems that females have a different wing pattern ... black on the ends instead of in the middle.
@otprofsp lol, I'm learning as I go when it comes to dragonflies ... the males were white and the females were brown and white, as far as I had it figured out. Now that I've done some more checking, this is probably actually an immature male, as the females have a different wing pattern.
