Common pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis), male

While watching Hobomok skippers, this gorgeous pondhawk suddenly landed in front of us. It is an immature (teneral) changing into an adult. The green thorax and upper part of the abdomen are the juvenile colours, the blue on the rest of the abdomen is the colour he will become as an adult male. The females are green.
