The amazing orange-yellow wings of a male Halloween pennant - License our images here . I got this photo in our latest hike. Check the beauty of the wings of a male Halloween pennant ( Celithemis eponina ), a dragonfly found year around in the southeast of North America, the Bahamas, and Cuba. The shiny wings have veins and membranes layered with a high level of design complexity. On the practical side, they provide these dragonflies with 97% chances of success in hunting. In hot days, the wings become sort of umbrellas to cover their thorax. Dragonflies eat over a hundred mosquitoes a day. They don't attack humans, so let's keep them around.
