Dragonfly called Orange Meadowlark Laying Eggs

I was out gathering material for making cuttings and this orange dragonfly caught my attention when I decided to check and see if the little pond had polliwogs in it again this year.  And it does!  The ones you see are of our little native tree frogs.  It took me a moment to realize that the dragonfly was tapping the wet surface of the green algae because she was laying eggs!  I believe her latin name is
Sympetrum vicinum.

If you view the video in full screen, you can see a lot more detail, like the polliwogs. I took this video with my old Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Not bad for a six year old phone!
