Halloween Pennant
Celithemis eponina
"This is the largest, most
widely distributed, and perhaps most colorful small pennant species
in the region. Its common name derives from its distinctive orange
and brown or black wings. The face is yellowish or olivaceous,
becomng darker with age and red in males. The thorax is yellowish
green with a dark middorsal stripe and lateral stripes on the
sutures ... This is the only species with completely yellowish-orange
wings marked with broad dark-brown or black stripes and a red
pterostigma." (Abbott, pp. 249-250)
