Like Batman and Robin, only Odonata style! The Twelve Spotted Skimmer and the Widow Skimmer are by far the most common of the larger dragonflies in southern Maine this summer. They both showed up early, and have maintained very high numbers through the season. I know some of the towns here in Maine sell dragonfly nymphs as “mosquito control”, and it looks to me that this year most of the nymphs sold were 12spots and widows. 🙂

Canon SX50HS. Backed off from full zoom so I could get both bugs in the shot, but still on 1.5x digital tel-extender. Maybe 1400mm equivalent. f6.5 @ 1/1000th @ ISO 640. Processed in Lightroom.
