Description
Fiery Skimmer Dragonfly - Richard Reeve
The Fiery Skimmer Dragonfly (Orthetrum villosovittatum) is also known by the less romantic name as the bog skimmer dragonfly. It has a vibrant scarlet red abdomen and is often found along creeks and streams in the Brisbane, Queensland area.
Unusually for dragonflies, these beauties are not particularly timid and will let you get up close to say hello.
