Yesterday this female Twelve-spotted Skimmer dragonfly, shown in the following three shots, landed on some stones in our garden. This common dragonfly is found in Canada and all the American 48 states below it. Its male counterpart would have 10 white spots next to the brown ones.

Great detail in all of these, and I liked the way that you showed us different views of the same specimen.

They are so common, we probably just call them dragonfly. 🙂
