Close-up (dorsal view) of a female Needham's skimmer (Libellula needhami) perched on a blade of grass at Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Virginia Beach, Virginia. One characteristic that seperates this species from the similar golden-winged skimmer is that the inner half of the costa vein is dark rather than light as pictured here.
