Eastern Amberwing

Eastern Amberwing Perithemis tenera

Not photographed in Quebec but just down the road in Boston. There is probably no real reason why this smart little species should not occur in Quebec so something ot look out for. This is a female, the males have a beautiful amber suffusion to the wing, hence the name.

They fly, according one dragonfly book, in the summer, no really!
