Clip Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 ***Please note*** If you are hoping for help with an id on a bug or butterfly it is helpful to include location location location. Just like birds and maybe even more location can be helpful and even necessary. Also we do not seem to have a true bug expert here so ids may not be forth coming. Thank you that is all. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 anyone know what type of dragonfly? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Friedman Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 1 hour ago, IKLland said: anyone know what type of dragonfly? That's a damselfly, not a dragonfly. (Those are the two main suborders in the order Odonata.) Damselflies are usually smaller and thinner and have heads like hammerhead sharks, and most of them hold their wings together when at rest. In the U.S. and Canada, most of the ones that hold their abdomens below their wings are dancers, genus Argia. I'm liking yours for a male Vivid Dancer, with the bright blue color, small black spots in addition to black rings on the abdomen, and unmarked light blue abdomen tip. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 White Peacock-I think this maybe the most abundant Butterfly in Florida. I certainly do see a lot of them. Which is okay by me as they are a good looking butterfly but you may need your binoculars to really appreciate them. As they flutter by they often just appear white. They aren't a tiny butterfly like the Blues more a medium sized like a Monarch. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason it wouldn't be Common Sanddragon is that they have cream-colored cerci and your dragonfly has dark ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in male dragonflies and damselflies, the cerci are grabby bits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
