A black and white dragonfly perches on twigs over a green waterbody.
A black and white dragonfly is seen on a set of twigs over a green body of water. The angle is almost directly overhead, showing the perfect background of the water. The common whitetail dragonfly has both sets of wings open while facing the top of the image. The body is as white as the tail, with two small black stripes where the wings attach. The small black stripes continue a small length onto each wing, which then shows a section of sheer before a large section of black, and then the rounded tip of each wing is sheer. The rounded head is black, matching the stripes of the wings. The twigs the fly is perched on are thin and bare, reaching out from the bottom of the image. The water below shows specks of debris covering the entire surface. Long green stems reach out from the right side at the bottom, with small white buds on the end of each stem. The left shows a large section of water moss with fallen leaves caught on the surface, while the growth continues underwater on sticks. The soft dirt and growth water floor is seen as very shallow below. The sun shines down from above as the mossy growth on the left creates shadows in the water, though there is no shadow from the dragonfly and twigs.
