Eight species are found in North America. These
are small to medium sized dragonflies with brown bodies, barely showing
any green metallic coloration. The thorax presents with a dot on
both sides. Their abdomen has yellow lateral stripes, or rather a
pattern of browns and yellows, with yellow to brown face. Wings
are variably marked with patches or spots. |

Baskettails can be seen flying in feeding swarms on warm
summer days in the morning and late afternoon to evening hours around
ponds, lakes, slow streams, marshes and swamps. |
