Spangled Skimmer Dragonfly (Libellula cyanea)
A bit torn and tattered, but still able to catch insects like this Spotted Cucumber Beetle removed from our garden.
Spangled Skimmers are common in eastern North America as far west as Kansas and Texas. Males are blue. Females are brown with yellow stripes. They prefer well-vegetated ponds and lakes and slow-moving sections of streams. (BugGuide)
