newly emerged 12-spotted Skimmer(July)
In it's 3rd season, the pond attracted several new species of dragonflies, and both 12-spotted and 4-spotted skimmers bred
in large numbers.
We now have seen 10 species of Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) visiting the pond including
12-spotted Skimmers, Western Forktails, Black Saddlebags,
Shadow Darners, Pacific Forktails,
Common Green Darners, Cardinal Meadowhawks, Black-fronted Forktails, Variegated Meadowhawks, and
Swift Forktails (we might have introduced this one on plant matter), and Four-spoted Skimmer,
