Eastern Pondhawk Dragonfly?
Location: Coastal SC

Walked out on my back deck and found this dragonfly having lunch. He was so into his meal that he stayed put long enough for me to go back inside for the camera. I did a quick look online and saw that it looks like an Eastern Pondhawk Dragonfly.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for taking the time to self identify your Eastern Pondhawk,
Erythemis simplicicollis.  When we checked on BugGuide, we found the examples of males that are turning blue to match your individual who appears to be feasting on a Fly.
