This Flame Skimmer (Libellula saturata) was seen in early September at
San Pedro National Riparian Conservation Area near one of the ponds by San Pedro House.

Flame Skimmer |
Flame skimmer rivals the
Neon Skimmer in terms of over-the-top red/orange color, but the Neon, which is slightly larger, and a brighter red, still wins out.
The Flame Skimmer has a much larger range than the Neon, however, making it a more familiar sight. Its covers most of the region of the Neon (except for eastern TX and central Oklahoma), and much more of the interior west.
