CHECKERED SETWING, (Dythemis fugax)
Oklahoma

Slide # I-315-20.2

It was a very hot day when I photographed this checkered setwing.  The position it’s in is called oblisking.  It is pointing its abdomen at the sun and reducing the amount of surface area exposed to the sun so it stays a little cooler.
