HYACINTH GLIDER
A male Hyacinth Glider (Miathyria marcella) on a faded Blazing Star bloom spike. (Liatris spicata)
A series of images combined on 5 layers.
A beautiful male Hyacinth Glider found its way to my yard last October. They are often associated with what I call "the beautiful, but evil" introduced South American Water Hyacinths that choked Florida's waterways for many years (and likely would again if vigilant control efforts were ended).
These dragonflies are also an introduced species in Florida, first found here in 1934. I do not think of them as evil—only beautiful.
