Here's a hearty little red November dragonfly. I have seen a few of them recently and I am guessing they will be the last big insects outdoors around here until next spring. Click to enlarge. |
It's an autumn meadowhawk dragonfly. They are not unheard of in November in New Jersey though they are more common when the weather is warmer. |
I think late-migrating insect-eating birds will be glad to see them. |
A haiku poem written in the early 1800s by the poet Kobayashi Issa:
departing for the festival
all in red
dragonfly
