Hundreds of these bright blue dragonflies could be found in the tall grass next to a local pond. The scientific name is longipennis, which sounds kind of dirty, but actually just means long wings, despite the fact that their wings are actually pretty standard length for dragonflies. Unfortunately, did not have a macro lens with me that day, so this was taken with a standard prime and cropped.
