Prince basketail (Epitheca princeps)

Found at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden while cutting down dog-strangling vine (pale swallowwort). It was sitting near the bottom of a stem, very wet and not moving. However, once it dried its wings, it was away!

He is so handsome, with his splashes of black on his wings and the regal way he curls his abdomen when perched, that he should be called King...!
