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.”
