Black-saddlebags Dragonfly: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, September 2024 — I don’t ever remember seeing as many Black-saddlebags as I have seen this summer here in Southern Maine. Maybe I have just been more often to places where they are, but it certainly seems to me that there are more of them this year. And I have, with patience, certainly gotten more of them perched for me. 🙂 I had to wait 10 minutes for this one as it circled the path and the little stand of taller beach rose bushes many times before settling down.
