Ventured out to a nearby pond and discovered a gathering of Halloween Pennants (Celithemis eponina)! They were everywhere i turned, which was great for me!!

(Bright orange and black-banded wings make the Halloween Pennant an easy dragonfly to spot. Its festive coloring is similar to many types of butterflies, and its fluttering manner of flight makes it reasonable to mistake it for one at first sight. The long abdomen should be an instant giveaway, however, that it belongs in the Odonata family with all other dragonflies.

This species is comfortable resting on tall reeds and grasses in marshes, ponds or by creeks and stream. Sometimes it will raise its abdomen straight up in the air while perched; other times it will lay flat. Sometimes it holds just its forewings upward while flattening its hindwings, a position that is somewhat unusual for dragonflies.--insectidentification.org)
