Description

This is a fairly large species and average about 2' (50mm) in body length. They get their name from the 12 dark markings on their wings. During territorial disputes, the male that can fly vertical loops around his opponent wins. This is the last of this male Dragonfly series. Its time for different subjects again. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee
