Nana Sent us this picture from the cabin (northern MI)
After some research, we discovered it is a dragonfly called the Common Whitetail Skimmer.
This particular one is a male!

This post is part of our Fun Facts Fundraiser, a summer activity for Cook Academy.
While we also enjoy reading (as in our previous bookathon,) this year we have decided to focus on research! Come back for more Fun Facts!
If you are interested in giving, you can donate here (or contact Emily for our mailing address)
All proceeds will be used for school expenses.
**If you would like to recommend a creature for our research, send suggestions (and ideally, photos!) to Emily!
Thanks for reading!
