Comanche Skimmer at La Sal del Rey - Libellula comanche - Male
La Sal del Rey tract of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
June 15, 2000
Do not know the exact date of this one - an old slide that I scanned several years ago, not a digital photo - am approximating. First county and LRGV record for this species, more common further north. The same site - a cienega, freshwater spring-fed wetland, on the shore of the salt lake - also provided the first county and LRGV record of Common Whitetail (Plathemis lydia) approximately one year later.
