Spangled Skimmer - Male

spangled skimmer male
I know I said the dragonflies will stop. At some point they might, but it's summer and they are one of my favorite subjects. This is a male to match the female I posted two weeks ago. Often I don't exactly know what I've photographed until I get home and can zoom in unless it is an easily recognizable dragonfly. This one has been added to my mental list since it is the only dragonfly with white spots on its wing tips. They look almost exactly the same as another species unless you notice the wingtips and their slightly different eyes.
