I like this shot a bit. It had turned its head towards me before taking off. I love seeing so many dragon and damselflies out and about. One sign of a healthy ecosystem.

Heh, frosted white nose in the scientific name. I wonder what the other genus members look like that made them call it frosted.
I assume they all have that white frons.
That explains white nosed/faced, which all (most?) Leucorrhinia share. But why frosted / frigida?
Ah, I believe that’s for the cooler environment they’re found in.
That would do it. Thanks!
Its a bit of a misnomer though. Its 100F out RN…
