Insects of the Week

Whitetail Dragonfly

  This week there were some interesting insects that I saw on the trail.  Upper right is a white tail dragon fly. At the  lower left these are studies of Scarab, I believe.

Popillia Japonica ( Scarab)

I don't know much about these beetle type insects even if I have ID them correctly , if some one can fill me in I would love some information about them. They were mostly a metallic green in color.

I caught this monarch in mid flight. The Hartman Reserve has all kinds of Butterflies. I will be posting  more species.

This study is of a Damselfly. Their wings are an exact duplicate of the other not like a Dragonfly 's wings which are different from each other
