After days of rain, on Saturday afternoon we had a burst of sunshine…and promising enough skies so I got the scooter out and did a round of all the local dragonfly and damselfly ponds. It was bug city! And, from the amount of mating activity I saw, the odonata tribe was making up for lost time. I took lots of pics, but I can’t resist posting this one…it just makes me smile. 🙂
It is a Swamp Spreadwing…one of the larger damselflies. They were out in numbers at one of the ponds that feed Back Creek along Route 9 in Kennebunk.
