Sunny day after a previously rainy one.
From a distance it looked like a squished flower but as I got closer I noticed the wings and the vivid colors which did not photographed as bright.
It was very still on the pavement for awhile and did not fly away when I touched it.

Hi doe,
The reason you think the Black Saddlebags is like a Dragonfly is because it is a Dragonfly.  You may read more about the Black Saddlebags,
Tramea lacerata, by going to BugGuide.
