Very Cool Dragon Fly

My ponds attracts all kinds of life, including this gorgeous dragon fly. This dragon fly was recently identified as a mature adult male "common whitetail," Plathemis lydia (aka Libellula lydia). Mature males get the powdery blue on the abdomen as they age. I think not only am I getting interested in gardening, birds and flowers, I may be getting into bugs as well.... well at least the pretty ones.. I still don't want anything to do with moths and wasp and recluse or hobo spiders (like the one that bit me last year).
