Blue Dasher Dragonfly

A close-up, top-down view of a female Blue Dasher dragonfly resting on a dried, vertical stalk of grass. The dragonfly's body is dark with yellow and brown markings, and its clear, intricately veined wings have a golden-brown tint, especially towards the body. The background is a soft, out-of-focus green and yellow, suggesting natural vegetation.

A female Blue Dasher dragonfly rests on a blade of grass, seen along Old Carriage Road across from Overlook Three.
