Common Green Darner
Anax junius


The common green darner is a small thing with a long story, and I’ve started writing it down.
Wind is the enemy. A dead-calm ten minutes can give you more images than a windy hour.
I avoid published counts of population estimates here. My interest is a sightings journal, not a density map.
I’ve started keeping track of host plants, which has forced me to learn more plants than I intended.
As always with insects, I welcome a correction from anyone who actually knows what they’re doing.
