Variegated Meadowlark (Sympetrum corruptum) dragonfly

11/28/09
Here is the head and most of the thorax of a cold but beautiful Variegated Meadowlark (Sympetrum corruptum) dragonfly (family Libellulidae, order Odonata) trying to warm up in the sun this morning in our canyon. What can I say? (San Marcos Pass, 28 November 2009)

I've see them here before at this time of year. See my photos from last year on December 7, 2008 taken in almost the same place: http://www.fotolog.com/treebeard/44454306

That dragonfly seems much more violet-colored than this one. Maybe it's a white-balance thing?

gorgeous photos! i've wondered what it would be like to be 1/4 inch tall. i suppose it would help if one had an 1/8 in. long ak47.
