COMMON SKIMMERS
Skimmers are the most common of the dragonfly families. The males are very showy non-metallic colors. Some have patterned wings and their bodies are shorter than than their wingspans. The females are often different colored than males, usually more brown or paler than males but having similar markings. Skimmers live in still waters. Most perch horizontally and fly out to capture their prey. Skimmers glide while flying.
