Description
This beautiful dragonfly was in my backyard! It's a Halloween Pennant Dragonfly! How cool is that! He literally glows and sparkles in the sunlight. One of my all time favorite bugs!
Celithemis eponina Drury, the Halloween pennant dragonfly, is a brightly colored dragonfly found in the eastern United States. The Halloween pennant gets its name from its orange colored wings, which have dark brown bands marking them. It can often be seen perched on tips of vegetation near the edges of waterways
