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)
