The unique black and yellow tiger stripes on the wings of the Halloween Pennant dragonfly (Celithemis Eponina) makes this dragonfly hard to miss. Dragonflies have been here for a very long time, in fact the dragonfly has been around before the dinosaurs, over 300 million years ago, and ancient dragonflies were considerably larger than those we see today. The biggest insect that ever lived was an ancient dragonfly Meganeura, a predatory insect with a wing span of over two feet. Other than being smaller, modern-day dragonflies do not look very different from their ancestors. The Halloween Pennant is common in the eastern U.S. and enjoys ponds with weedy bottoms. They often perch on the tips of tall weeds, and then allow the wind to carry them much like butterflies. There is speculation that their wing color may be an emulation of the Monarch butterfly, which is poisonous to predators.
