| The Seaside Dragonlet (Erythrodiplax berenice) is a small dragonfly which occurs in coastal areas of the eastern and southern U.S. It has also been found at a number of inland locations at saline lakes. The first 4 images here were shot in September, 2003, in Refugio Co., Texas with a Canon EOS 10D and EF 70-200mm F/2.8 L IS lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash. A mature male is on the right. |

This image as well as the next three were taken in the extreme s.e. corner of Texas at Texas Point, Sabine Pass, Jefferson Co., Texas, in June, 2008, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender. |

| The female shown here was perched on the bloom of a Shrimp Plant in High Island, Galveston Co., Texas, in June, 2008. The same gear described previously was used to take this image. |
 |
| The next five shots of Seaside Dragonlets were taken at Indianola, Calhoun Co., Texas, in September, 2011, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and a Sigma 50-500mm lens and Canon 580 flash. |
