Four-spotted Chaser

Libellula quadrimaculata


The Four-spotted Chaser is identifiable by the dark spots on the leading edge of each wing, which is the origin of its name. This species can be found near ponds and lakes from May to September. Both males and females are golden-brown, becoming darker toward the tips of their bodies, and they have yellow spots along their sides.
