__ SKIMMERS, the Libellulids. This is a large group and in general they tend to be perchers, but this is not true of the gliders! Wandering Glider, and Spot-winged Glider, along with Black Saddlebags, are flyers, and are the "parking lot" dragonflies that try to lay eggs on your car windshield. Wandering Gliders can be found on all contents except Antarctica.
