Sexual dimorphism means that the two sexes of a species are different from each other. This dragonfly differs with wing pattern and body color. The male is flashier than the female. I've waited all summer to get both sexes photographed, and it finally happened on Thursday afternoon. The female landed in front of me five times!

ReplyDeleteIsn't that wonderful to have these goals and meet them with such pleasure? Most enjoyable. Again, Thank you
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! The male birds are always flashier too!
ReplyDeleteA very common species around here.
ReplyDeleteWhy are males so much prettier in so many species? Kind of a weird thing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love your posts.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
How gorgeous they both are. I am always amazed how the males need to impress the females with their different colors!
