The Odonata season has begun. This order of carnivorous insects includes dragonflies and damselflies. These three early-season members were seen in wetlands around the Lake.
Previously, I have seen a Four-spotted Skimmer Dragonfly in mid-May, but early June works.
A male Pacific Forktail Damselfly rests on a leaf. This is a common and widespread little damselfly that frequents marshes throughout the summer.
This is likely a Northern Spreadwing Damselfly. The interest here is that this is the first time I have watched either a dragonfly or damselfly eating another insect.
