Autumn Leaves for an Autumn Meadowhawk Dragonfly

On 09/24/2024 04:39 pm by Randy Strauss| Omaha, Nebraska suburb

I'm still seeing Autumn Meadowhawk dragonflies in my backyard. This female was resting, but also moving around enough to stay in the late afternoon sunlight; the nights here are now in the low 50s-high 40sF. The females are brown-tan-yellow; the males (they were around this afternoon too) are a very distinctive red. It will be interesting to see if any appear in October; it is getting very late here for any dragonflies now.
