House of the Dragonfly
The Eastern pondhawk male is an incredibly rich blue while the female, featured yesterday, is all green. They eat the State Bird of Texas: the mosquito. They are also cannibals. They guard their territory viciously.

Dragons on the Greenbelt!
Right now, dragonflies are plentiful on our greenbelt. There is a lot of water, insects are plentiful and the dragonflies are feasting. This beautiful Eastern pond hawk is resting on a branch between catches.

Eastern pondhawk dragonfly resting on a twig between catches. We did a little dance - he would not let me get closer than 5-6 feet before launching, I would back off, he would land and rest again. I understand these are territorial dragonflies and will frequent a specific spot. Pentax K3 III with Pentax 60-250 DA* at 250mm. ISO 400 for 1/320 at f9. Backlit by morning sun.

A male #EasternPondhawk #dragonfly munches on a Beautiful Deer Fly. Female deer flies are vectors for diseases like anaplasmosis and act like flying hypodermic needles, making a cross cut on the skins of mammals to drink blood #Odonata #macrophotography #dragonflies #DragonflyWatching #insects #bugs

Yesterday's snowstorm has me desperately craving some color. 🌨️ Enter: the Eastern Pondhawk! Fun fact: while mature males are powdery blue, the females and young males are this stunning, vivid green. A little reminder that spring will come! ☀️💚
