More odonates from Trout Brook Valley

Here are some more odonates I have seen and/or netted at the Trout Brook Valley Conservation Area of the Aspetuck Land Trust in the last week.

Swamp Darner female, one of several


Stream Cruiser male patrolling, you guessed it, a stream


Widow Skimmer female


  Harlequin Darner males, both "netted" because they landed on me!


Delta-spotted Spiketail


Eastern Red Damsel female


Dusky Clubtail female


Prince Baskettail record shot, tough to photograph or net!


Tule Bluet male

Violet Dancer



Twin-spotted Spiketail, my highlight netting of the week


 The twin spots

We are now up to 32 species with hopefully many more to come!
