Eastern Amberwing
Perithemis tenera
Adults patrol sunny ponds, marshes, and quiet waters bordered by emergent plants. They catch tiny flying insects in mid-air, often returning to a favored perch between hunting flights. Males are notably small dragonflies with amber-toned wings and often defend small territories near water.
