The Common Whitetail (Plathemis lydia)
is a very common dragonfly across the entire U.S. The male has
large black patches on clear wings with a white abdomen, but
the female is quite different, lacking the white abdomen and
showing a different wing pattern. The photo of the male at left
was a digital capture in western Travis Co., Texas in April 2003
with a Canon EOS 10D and EF 70-200 F2.8 L lens with 2X extender.
The photo of the first female Common Whitetail shown below was
shot in Austin, Travis Co., Texas in July, 2002 with a Canon
EOS 1V and EF 300 mm F4 L IS lens with a 2X extender on Fuji
Provia F. See the third photo below for caption and other data.
