I looked for Odes along the western edge of the small pond ( 70 yards) and about 50 yards along the outlet stream of the Longview Northern Business Park.

Damselflies:
Citrine Forktail - 2
Fragile Forktail - 10
Variable Dancer - 2

Dragonflies:
Neon Skimmer - 3
Red Saddlebags - 1
Eastern Pondhawk - Many
Widow Skimmer - 5
Blue Dasher - Many
BAND-WINGED DRAGONLET - 5

Slaty Skimmer - 10
Great Blue Skimmer - 3
Common Green Darner - 1

Total Species - 14

CORRECTION - no Yellow-sided Skimmers - were immature Great Blue Skimmers.

I visited the small pond #1 ( the springs), the seepage near it, and the east side of Cemetery Lake (pond) today to see what was around after the recent rains.

I found Yellow-sided Skimmers ( at least 2) at the Seepage area which is a new Gregg County record.

Great Blue Skimmer several

I went to check Odes at the LVBP pond and pond outlet stream. There were many Skimmers like yesterday on the south side of town. However, this time it seems the Yellow-sided Skimmers really were Yellow-sided, not immature Great Blues as yesterday. The disappointment was almost no Damselflies out.
