Late this afternoon I was walking by a wall that I pass by regularly when something caught my eye. A large dragonfly was perched there, so I approached for a closer view:
As I moved closer, I noticed little white flecks here and there, and wondered if they might be ash. You can see them on the green thorax and on the dark brown eyes:
Well, I couldn't tell for sure if the flecks were ash, but they look like the ash that's on our car right now. This is a Common Green Darner (Anax junius), photographed on 13 September 2020.
And I also see little turquoise dots where the wings attach to the thorax!
