Description
Blue Skimmer
The Blue Skimmer is a dragonfly in the family of Libellulidae. The insect is perched on the vegetation to warm up so it can fly and hunt again. This is a male Blue Skimmer, which can be recogized by his light blue abdomen. Older males have a black tip on their tail as you can see here as well. The wings are clear and folded forward in rest.
Taken in south-east Queensland.
