Eastern Forktail (Ischnura verticalis)
Photographed
I spotted this Eastern Forktail on a leaf at the edge of a small pond at Arlington Cemetery in Milwaukee Co. When I picked it up, I saw it was still alive, then I noticed the two extra tiny wings. Each wing had veination and a pterostigma. I foolishly set it down to photograph when the wind blew it away out of sight.
