Twelve-spotted Skimmer
The pond I visited yesterday was alive with skimmers! This is a male because in addition to the dark brown spots it also has white ones.
Handsome, right?

Very pretty.
1st one: BEAUTY!
It's fun for me to learn the difference in markings between male and female. Thanks :) Great photo! I noticed a lot of dragonflies in my in-law's garden this past week. They kept bumping into the windows and flying away again.
Incredible:) Hug B
Really nice photos!
Right! I just love dragonflies!
A beautiful dragonfly!
Amazing images. Have a wonderful weekend
Decent photos that are not easy to get.
love the bi-planes!
Aha - posted a dragonfly then came back and saw yours. Tis the time of year for those dainties.
More than handsome. Hard to find the right words for such an incredibly beautiful insect. Lovely pictures you took.

Yes, a handsome male, like me.
Terrific macro shots!
Wow - awesome shots!
Absolutely handsome!
Gorgeous critters! I love the patterns on the wings.
Beautiful closeups!
You are the best!! And a handsome critter he is indeed!! Once again your capture for the day has taken my breath away, EG!! Hope your weekend is off to a great start!! Enjoy -- with camera in hand, of course!!
I have tried forever to get a shot of one as good as yours but never have.
Magical photo of a magical little creature.
He is awesomely handsome. Great captures.
Flashing his spots!
Dragonflies are wonderful creatures. They are successful in their hunts 85-90 percent making them the single more successful and deadly hunter on the planet. The prey? Often mosquitoes, so I'm delighted to see them around. This seems like a good year for them.
Very handsome indeed. Awesome photos!!
Oh these critters are wonderful when they visit....
The dragonflies I see in my yard have black bands on their wings, I don't know if they are this species or something else. That's a great shot of the wings from above and the black and white spots.
These are beautiful shots - fabulous detail!
Those are some pretty fabulous shots of the skimmers. I always like learning a bit too about them, you never know when I may impart my new knowledge!
Yes, he looks great! I'm sure the lady Twelve-spotted Skimmers all agree.
