Observation of the Week: common green darner

This week's feature is a common green darner, photographed and logged by iNaturalist user joebartok in Ontario. The common green darner is one of 16 migratory dragonflies in North America. Like monarchs, these dragonflies embark on a multi-generational migration, where the generation that returns to Canada in spring are the grandchildren of the ones that left in autumn.
