Observation of the Week: ebony jewelwing

This week's feature is an ebony jewelwing, photographed and logged by iNaturalist user awaysick in southern Ontario. Their brilliant metallic green bodies flash sunlight as they flit around streamside vegetation and their large black wings quickly attract attention. They are also short-lived, usually only living as a flying adult for about two weeks.
