Pin-tailed Pondhawk
Erythemis plebeja
Adults patrol sunny ponds, marsh edges, and nearby open clearings, often returning to a favored perch. They capture mosquitoes, flies, and other flying insects in mid-air with their spiny legs. The distinctive pin-shaped tip of the abdomen helps identify this fast-flying dragonfly.
