Late this afternoon (about five) I finally made some time to photograph the odes in our yard. I spent only about twenty minutes with camera in hand. The temperature was about 70 deg. F and the weather clear.
Roughly two weeks ago, I noticed a few Hudsonian Whitefaces in the yard. These are always first dragonflies to appear each spring. The second species to appear are the Chalk-fronted Corporals.
This afternoon the Chalk-fronted Corporals were most common. I saw probably a dozen or so. I only observed one or two Hudsonian Whitefaces.
Ah, the REAL Frank Gorga has finally arrived as supported by his posting of Odes! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the members of this insect group.
