Eight-Spotted Skimmer, Libellula Forensis


Day 301: A few days ago, I noticed an Eight-Spotted Skimmer perched on the tip of a stake in my garden. "Time to take a trip to Mineral," I said to myself. The public fishing area at Mineral Lake is one of the best spots around for observing this species, so rather than trying to chase down the specimen flitting nervously about my yard, I grasped the easier solution: I drove up to the lake where I found a dozen or so in the shrubbery at the water's edge. It's always nice when things go according to plan!
