Yellow-striped Flutterer Dragonfly
This Dragonfly is called the Yellow-striped Flutterer. It stood out to me more than the other Dragonflies at the Botanical Gardens as its body & wings were quite a bit bigger.
I found this species easier to photograph as if it flew away it was determined to go back to the exact same spot on the same plant no matter how close I was – so I just sat there with my camera in hand & waited for it to land again – & it would :)
