Lake Como, behind feed mill
Eastern Forktail (
Ischnura verticalis)
Photographed
Hundreds in the tall grass near the feed mill building. One sweep of the net through the grass captured a dozen, about equal numbers of mature males and orange females. Also quite a few in the vegetation along the shoreline. Not many in the mowed grass between the lake and the building (several yards).
Dot-tailed Whiteface (
Leucorrhinia intacta)
Photographed
One hunting from a perch at the shoreline.
