Picture of the Day for May 3, 2023

Yesterday I spotted a butterfly and then I saw a different butterfly today as well as the first dragonfly of the season at my pond. The Common Green Darner is a common dragonfly and are one of the first dragonflies to be seen in the spring. They are a skilled aerial predator and they eat many types of flying insects, such as flies, gnats, moths, butterflies, mayflies, damselflies, mosquitoes, and even other smaller dragonflies.
