Four-Spotted Chasers are instantly identifiable by the clearly visible dark spots on each wing (2 per wing, giving a total of 4 spots on each side, see photographs). A regular percher, often returning to the same specific perch, makes the Four-spotted a relatively easy dragonfly to photograph.

Dragonfly Pool Skimmer
Fiery Skimmer Dragonfly - Orthetrum villosovittatum FAMILY LIBELLULIDAE. Males are territorial and will often return to the same spot. They seldom rest on ground. Female Female, body length 45mm The female has golden thorax and brown abdomen, with a black line on the back along the top of abdomen. The Dragonfly is a mobile floating pool skimmer that prevents the leaves and dirt from sinking by cleaning the pools surface first Leaves are removed quickly and not left to decompose in your water. Less nitrogen from rotting leaves = cleaner pool = less chlorine and other chemicals are used (and a more hygienic pool). Three different species, Four-spotted Skimmers (Libellula quadrimaculata), Eight-spotted Skimmers (Libellula forensis), Twelve-spotted Skimmer (Libellula pulchella), use the number of wing spots as their naming convention.
