Elfin Skimmer - Nannothemis bella - male

Elfin Skimmer - Nannothemis bella - Male
Hoffman area, at the NCWRC annual burn site south of Cameron's Lake, Richmond County, North Carolina, USA
July 1, 2007
Captured by one of the odonate experts on the trip. Released, it perched on some nearby vegetation. This thing was amazingly petite--it perched near a Variable Dancer briefly, and it was even smaller than that damselfly.
A first BugGuide image of this species for the state of North Carolina.
