I noticed something was eating my Purple Leaf Plum Tree's leaves. Finally found something on it today. The Dragonfly was on a dead tree top about 6-1/2 foot high (over my head) managed to get a severely cropped image of it. I don't normally see too many of these. The plant hopper nymph is hard to get a profile shot of but this one obliged.
