Summer Isn’t Over Yet
Yesterday Bob and Dianne Machesney saw two Meadowhawk dragonflies mating at Moraine State Park.
Looks like summer isn’t over yet.

Just saw the same thing yesterday in central California! Not sure of the exact type of dragonfly, but they were definitely mating. I was a bit thrown off considering the time of year, but less so after seeing this post. Thanks for sharing!
