Libellula croceipennis - Neon Skimmer? - Libellula croceipennis - Female
River Haven Drive at 2100 feet in the Sierra foothills, Mariposa County, California, USA
August 26, 2020
At a small pond in a residential flower garden. A male neon skimmer was observed perched on Equisetum. A short time later a female neon skimmer was observed ovipositing in the pond. As she did this the male flew in her vicinity guarding her. After ovipositing they both perched on plants adjacent to the pond. Over the course of 30 minutes this repeated several times.
