Blue dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis), male

Photographed at Petrie Island where they are abundant, one of the commonest dragonflies there. Which is interesting, because they were first discovered in the Ottawa region in 2010, and at Petrie Island, in 2011!

Interesting that this new arrival would have already a healthy population!

It always amazes me that you can look at a dragonfly and identify it. Love the blue hue on this one. V.

The most have come from Europe..because we have many here and they are to find in protected natural habitats on waters! Great close-up! v.

Would have never imagined that they are so new to the area...V
