Eastern Forktail perching on Common Green Darner

Andrew Haydon Park, Ottawa view map

It's not often you see one of our smallest damselflies perching on one of our largest! This darner emerged with severe damage to its wings, preventing it from being able to fly. A female Eastern Forktail flew in and perched on its wings just as I was photographing it.
