Variegated Meadowhawk
Sympetrum corruptum
Adults patrol sunny ponds, marshes, fields, and open woodland edges. They seize mosquitoes, flies, and other small insects in mid-air, often returning to a perch between hunting flights. Mature males develop bright red coloration, while females and younger adults are usually yellowish to brown with darker markings.
