Description
The common whitetail or long-tailed skimmer (Plathemis lydia) is a common dragonfly across much of North America, with a striking and unusual appearance. The male's chunky white body (about 5 cm or 2 inches long), combined with the brownish-black bands on its otherwise translucent wings, give it a checkered look.
I captured this beauty resting on the edge of a handrail. North Carolina USA.
Thank you for looking at my Photography!!!
