Clamp-tipped Emerald Dragonfly
The emeralds come from the Corduliidae family of dragonflies and get their name from their metallic-green bands and large emerald green eyes. They are fun to watch dipping and diving as they snack on smaller insects and flash their bright irridescent colors around. I caught this one having a bit of a nap on a stock of wild grass and snapped its picture. (see my other image of this species in flight and to see those green peepers glowing in the full sunlight!)
