Observation of the Week: Four-spotted skimmer

Last week's feature was a four-spotted skimmer, photographed and logged by iNaturalist user marykrieger in Manitoba. Four-spotted skimmers prefer marshy lakes, fens, acid bogs, plant-filled ponds, and very slow streams. Adults are found over fields and along woody edges and they may form swarms over open water; juveniles are often seen far from water.
