Orange damselfly, Citrine Forktail, with lunch - Ischnura hastata - Female
Laurel, Prince Georges County, Maryland, USA
June 3, 2017
This is image 1 of 2. Image 1 displays a top, left side view of the entire length of the subject with food in her mouth. Image 2 displays a close-up. The damselfly was feeding in a patch of orange daylilies and weeds around the remaining stump of what had been a very large oak tree in my front yard. It was midday at 11:40.

Identification based on images in this section of the Guide and its Info page.
