Your letter to the bugman:  Hi, Mr Bugman,
I have never seen a dragonfly like this. Black and white only—and the body is flattened like a straw’s white paper wrapper. Is this a rate bug?  Thanks!

Dear Georgette,
The Common Whitetail is surely a stunning looking Dragonfly.  According to BugGuide the preferred habitat is:  “Ponds, lakes, marshes, streams; adults may also be found some distance from water.”
