Widow Skimmer Dragonfly

This is the first time this season one of these guys slowed down enough for a photo. The male widow skimmer leaves after the females lays the eggs, hence the name "widow".

Widow skimmers are common throughout the U.S., except for Rocky Mountain areas.  This one has white bands on it's wings, thus is an adult male.
