Eastern Pondhawk Dragonfly Resting On A Log

Males start as this vibrant green, but as they age they turn a powder blue.

About the Author

Steve Creek

My name is Steve Creek and I am a photographer from Lavaca, Arkansas. I am always outdoors walking around with a camera so I decided to get serious about taking nature photos while on my adventures. My favorite area to view wildlife is at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. I also like walking around Wells Lake and the Arkansas River Valley Nature Center. Thank you for visiting my photoblog.

    This is so cool. I was just working a few minutes ago on trying to categorize some of my pondhawk photo’s. Like some other dragonflies this one is a little complicated by the changes in color as the males mature.

    Great capture.

    You are right they are a little difficult to categorize.
    I took a photo of one eating a damselfly yesterday and will be posting it soon.
