Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

The Rainpool Gliders, Ladies and Gentlemen

Wandering Glider (Pantala flavescens)
Spot-winged Glider (Pantala hymenaea)

These two species are usually seen in flight, meaning barely seen at all as they zip around, but I found two Wandering and one Spot-Winged perched in the same patch on a recent overcast morning.
