Description
This gorgeous Dragonfly with the emerald eyes appeared in my local nature park and seems to be an Illinois River Cruiser! I don't live in Illinois and there is no river near this park but go figure! I was happy to get the photo but wish the dead leaf was not there. After the dragonfly flew away I removed the leaf hoping it would come back to the perch (which they often do) but it never did. I thought the insect was so beautiful that I would post the photo anyway.

I never knew we had so many varieties until I started looking for them. This one is really a stunner!
