Spahgnum Bluet

Spaghnum Bluet

It snowed today. Grrr I want spring already. This photo is from march of last year at Upton State Forest. I'm normally not skilled enough to get a good species match with dragonflies, but this one is likely Nehalennia gracilis. It helps that I took a few dozen pictures of the same 6 animals. There were maybe a dozen fluttering along the driveway of the parking lot. I tried going in a bit deeper in the woods, but I'd forgotten my hat and the deer flies were biting. The damselflies were taking care of any flies near the parking lot. Next time I'll bring my boots for the flooded trails as well.
