EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Marion County, Illinois, nature presents a breathtaking spectacle of color and grace with this exquisite Spangled Skimmer male dragonfly. Captured by the discerning lens of renowned nature photographer Danita Delimont, this image showcases the dragonfly's vibrant, iridescent wings that shimmer with hues of blue, green, and gold. The male Spangled Skimmer, scientifically known as Libellula cyanea, is a common sight along ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers in North America. The Spangled Skimmer is a master of camouflage, blending seamlessly with its surroundings during its resting phase. However, when it takes flight, its wings reveal a stunning display of color that is a feast for the eyes. The male's wings are translucent, allowing the intricate patterns beneath to be visible, making each wing a work of art in itself. This photograph is a testament to Danita Delimont's exceptional skill in capturing the beauty and intricacy of the natural world. Her keen eye for detail and ability to bring out the unique characteristics of her subjects have earned her a reputation as a leading nature photographer. This image is a reminder of the wonders that can be found in the most unexpected places, and the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural beauty around us. Marion County, Illinois, may not be the first place that comes to mind when one thinks of breathtaking natural wonders, but this photograph proves that even the most ordinary places can harbor extraordinary beauty. The Spangled Skimmer male is a symbol of the delicate balance of nature, and this image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the natural world for future generations to enjoy.
