I saw this unusual dragonfly in Georgia - July 2012...
I had never seen this dragonfly with a square wing tip before.
I had never seen this dragonfly with a square wing tip before.
They were flying around very fast...so I grabbed my camera.

Neat, I don't think I've ever seen one of those before.
I love dragonflies! These two look big! That is a unique pattern on the wings.
What neat dragonflies!
Great catches, Kim... I probably have seen these before but had no idea what they were. Thanks!!!
Hugs,

I agree...
;o)
it is very hard to get dragonfly shots for me. i have never seen any of these, i enlarged the photo and zoomed really big and they are certainly odd looking. you did good to get them with the coolpix.
you did a great job at caputring them!
Well, I clicked to get a closer look. I have never seen anything like this! I didn't even know such a thing existed!!! Very good catch!
Kudos to you for the nice capture of the dragonflies! Well done.
On enlargement of the picture, they look beautiful.
Is the way you always go through life?

Different is beautiful!
Quite unique! Isn't it wonderful what variety there is in creatures of all sorts, as well as in people?
Their wings always remind me of signal flags! I agree we all feel different sometimes, it's how we deal with being different that makes us who we are and how others see us!
I love dragonfly's but they are very difficult to photograph.
They are so cool. I never new they existed. Thanks for sharing!
Never seen one of these. Very interesting.
Pretty cool.
Those are unique!
I like how you brought in the analogy lesson...much like Solomon's writings of "nothing new under the sun"...even when we feel we are going through something alone and no one else would understand...there are others that have been through the same things....
Those are great shots! I love dragonflies!
Have a nice day!
Kim -
Those are cool! I don't think I've ever seen them before either. Wow!
Great pictures!
God bless!

Just took pic of similarly painted( square opaque) dragonfly in West Bloomfield, Michigan against my window, what a sight. On my window screen it measures 36 squares wide and nearly 30 in length. Wish I could figure out how to add picture.
Ahhhh, beautiful and delicate. It is how I think of all of us on this journey. All of us unique with different shapes and phases. In the whole scheme of things we are blessed. I am thankful for your visit. Love and light your way!!!

I am amazed at the different kinds of dragonflies, this one I have not seen before. COOL!!
i've never seen such a thing...wow !!
Wow, I've never seen anything like that!
I had no idea there were so many varieties of dragonflies until I started taking pictures.
Just last week I observed a dragonfly in my yard and way trying to remember when I last saw one. As mosquito eating predators they are always welcome!
Caregivingly Yours, Patrick
That sure is a strange dragon fly.

I can't remember where you are at in Georgia, but I spent a lot of time in Augusta on business trips before I retired. There is a artificial wetlands built near the airport called Phinizy Swamp.

I got a ton of photos of dragon flies there, and some pictures of a cottonmouth too. What a mean looking snake.
I photographed one of these close up today. In Bear Delaware... very cool!
I have four more pics of square winged dragonfly taken 12 July 2013, my email is berubed at gmail.com
this is amazing...My husband and I saw one of these on our front sidewalk, close to the house. We live in NJ..thank you for having this out there!!!
i saw one in my front yard! i live in winston salem, north carolina
There is one sitting in my backyard on the patio now.
Looks like a common whitetail dragonfly,
NY State
I saw this guy when I was home sick one afternoon in mid-August. He flew around my backyard for hours, and spent at least an hour in the late afternoon sunning on the patio, changing position every 30 seconds or so to test another sunny spot. I've never seen another dragonfly be stationary for as long as this one. The brownish-black flag appeared to have talons on top and bottom, which gave it an even more dragon-ish look. I couldn't see the rounded ends from my vantage point indoors, so I actually thought it had squared-off wings. This is the only dragonfly of this ilk that I've ever seen.
I just had one of those land on my patio. Wow, I got a long close look, I never new those existed. A flagonfly.
I live in Bakersfield California and just saw one flying in my backyard. Never have I seen anything like this. Does anyone know what it is called?
It is a Common Whitetail. Took pictures of one on
May 29, 2018 in Toronto, ON area.
Here is a link for more info about it and others:
