Description
This is the 6th of 7 images showing females of 7 different species.
Slaty Skimmers are at my pond for almost the entire season from April through September and are quite numerous.
This female was darker than most females and because of that, I assume she is a fully mature one.
Slaty Skimmers are about 2" (50mm) long. This makes them among the bigger Dragonflies at my pond. Males are much more commonly seen than females are.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.
