As best as I can tell, this is a Blue Dasher Dragonfly on a yellow lily. Dragonflies are worldwide in distribution with more than 5,000 described species. There are about 450 species of dragonflies in North America. Dragonfly adults are medium to large insects. In fact, a fossilized dragonfly from 250 million years ago has a wingspan of 28 inches. Dragonfly adults are often brightly colored and have a long slender abdomen. They also have two pair of long, slender wings with many net-like veins. The wings do not fold and are held outstretched when at rest. Adults are usually found near water but are good fliers and may range several miles. They are very active during the day, and can be observed hunting and mating. Info from HOLOWEB.COM. Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments.
