I had the pleasure of this little visitor yesterday afternoon - although he didn't stay around for long.  I think this is a male Autumn Meadowhawk.  He is a smaller dragonfly with a red body and iridescent wings.  He rested on my knee for close to a minute then flew away.  It was a nice calming visit with nature that I really enjoyed.

The largest of all North American butterflies paid a visit to our garden yesterday. It was in an awkward spot for me to capture with my phone.  I tried to get in closer but disturbed its rest and it flew away.
