Lilypad Clubtail Dragonfly (Male)

Van Loon Wildlife Area, La Crosse County, Wisconsin, USA

Lilypad Clubtail Dragonfly - Arigomphus furcifer

I watched him back his abdomen into line with the leaf so that it would be in the shade. This behavior is aimed at temperature control. The sun was getting warm and he was trying to cool down.
