I found this recently emerged black saddlebags dragonfly (Tramea lacerata) perched on our swamp milkweed. The wings looked so beautiful! #dragonflies #Odonata #Illinois #nature #photography

Insects love the side of my house. You’ll see a lot of posts with this whitish wooden siding.

This season’s 1st visitor is a Southern Pygmy Clubtail dragonfly [Lanthus vernalis].

Welcome my little flying friend!
