The story behind the photograph

A male eastern pondhawk dragonfly (Erythemis simplicicollis) perches on a twig above a jewel-green carpet of duckweed (Lemna minor) at Pike Run Wildlife Preserve in Nichols, Iowa. Its electric blue body is vivid against the glittering emerald backdrop, four lace-veined wings spread wide, bright green eyes alert. One of the Midwest’s most brilliantly colored dragonflies, caught in a moment of perfect stillness over the water.

A meaningful gift for a dragonfly enthusiast, wetland lover, Iowa nature admirer, or anyone who has ever crouched at the water’s edge watching dragonflies patrol the duckweed and wished they could stay there all afternoon.

Back of card: Blank, with the Midwest Wilderness Connections logo and the following description along the bottom edge: “Eastern Pondhawk Dragonfly. Pike Run Wildlife Preserve, Nichols, Iowa. — Midwest Wilderness Connections www.MidwestWildernessConnections.com”
