The particular dragonfly that has been so plentiful in recent weeks is called the chalk-fronted corporal.

Chalk-fronted Corporals often perch horizontally on the ground or on floating objects in the water, flying up to take prey from the air.

The Chalk-fronted Corporal (Ladona julia) is a skimmer dragonfly found in the northern United States and southern Canada.
