Cedar Bog Lovelies!

Some looks from my walk at Cedar Bog today. It was a great day for Spideys, and I'm still seeing the Elfin Skimmers. 
It's always a treat to see Elfin Skimmers....the smallest North American Dragonfly. Cedar bog is one of the few spots in Ohio to see them!
I was fortunate to share my walk with Cathy from Detroit. She was visiting Cedar Bog, hoping to see some new Dragonflies and Damselflies. Her sharp eyes spotted a couple of these spiders!

American Rubyspot Damselflies

 American Rubyspots are Damselflies that prefer a stream habitat. They can be found along Buck Creek here in Clark County. Males are a brilliant metallic red with gold trim, and females are a bronze to greenish color. Although there are approximately 40 species of Rubyspots, the American Rubyspots are the only ones that can be found in our county. A few from yesterday.
