Jack Connor > After 10 days of cold and wet, corporal skimmers emerged today 4-10-08 on Old Port Road...at least a dozen seen.
Jack Connor > A male twin-spotted spiketail, Cordulegaster maculata on trail to Lake Pam, 5/4/08, first I've ever seen on campus...or in Atlantic County, for that matter.
Jack Connor > Same individual as previous photo, posing helpfully.
Jack Connor > Common sanddragon, Progomphus obscurus, at Lake Pam, 6/14/08. First time I've ever seen them on campus. Several present, including mating pair in next photo.
Jack Connor > Fun to find a mating pair of sanddragons on Lake Pam "beach" on 6/14/08. The habitat seems to fit description of their preference -- sandy bottom lake -- but I haven't seen them there before.
Jack Connor > Blackwater bluet, Enallagma weewa, Lakehurst RR tracks near Klots Bog, 6/17/08
Jack Connor > Spot-winged glider, Pantala hymenaea, Lakehurst RR tracks near Klots Bog, 6/17/08
Jack Connor > Pine Barrens bluet, Enallagma recurvatum, Webbs Mill Bog, 6/18/08. I've been hoping to find this guy for a couple of years, finally got to right habitat (sandy bottom pond with mud & silt) at right time of year.
Jack Connor > North America's smallest dragonfly -- elfin skimmer, Nannothemis bella, Webbs Mill Bog, 6/18/08. (I have yet to manage to take a sharp photo of it! Can't seem to get close enough.)
