The eastern amberwing dragonfly is small, less than an inch long.  It's wings makes it look bigger.  Adults eat flying insects such as mosquitoes and flies.  Yay!

 

Taken at 7:56 am, and few dragonflies were active yet.  The photo is mostly backlit, but leg surfaces facing the camera appear to be illuminated a gold color by sunlight scattered through the wings.
