Wildlife Wednesday: Tiny Syrphid fly and Notsotiny Skimmer Dragonfly

1. Tiny Syrphid Fly: Toxomerus marginatus on Crepe Myrtle flower above, a species of hoverfly I have run into before (if my ID is correct, that is).

2. Notsotiny Skimmer Dragonfly: Below, Common Whitetail (odd name since I see no whitetail) on rock. And as I just learned over on my favorite insect ID site bugguide.net, it's an adult male Skimmer Dragonfly Plathemis lydia.
