Monday Nature Mystery
We are pleased to announce the winner of our last Monday Nature Mystery, Aly Lubov!Please email us your snail mail address and preference for a hat or tote bag to: [email protected]
Congratulations to Aly for correctly identifying the Calico Pennant Dragonfly (Celithemis elisa). According to Dragonflies in VA, you should look for them in shallow, grassy pools in full sun during June and July, and in nearby meadows, often many yards from water.
Each Monday we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag.
Be sure to post your answer on our Facebook page @AudubonVA under the Monday Mystery post...do not reply to this email with your guess! We only accept entries from our Facebook page, not via email.
Please remember to write the common name, being mindful of hyphens, uppercase and lowercase letters and always include the Latin name in parentheses. To learn more about bird names click here.
