No need to ask where this dazzling dragonfly got its name. The Scarlet Skimmer is another species introduced into Florida—from Asia in 1975.
You may notice a number of insects are shown perched on dwarf Fakahatchee Grass. A patch of it, mixed with other grasses and wildflowers, hosts a multitude of diverse insect life in my front yard. When I want to take photos, I often sit in the midst of these 3-foot tall grasses and simply wait for a subject.
