Description
Today's posting is another Dragonfly. This is a female Common Whitetail. As is often the case with dragonflies, the female looks a lot different than the male. The common name refers to the male's white tail. It is the result of a white waxy secretion that his body produces. The wing patterns are also different between the male and female.

Interesting to see how the wings look on different backgrounds.
Nice shot!
Amazing capture my friend. God bless.
That's really pretty. Dragonflies are pretty cool little creatures. They look like little fairies to me :)
Nice closeup this shot shows the clear part of the wing well.
beautiful shot!
