Here’s a trick: You won’t find these dragonflies in western Pennsylvania in late October. 

The Halloween Pennant, named for his orange and almost-black colors, is only here in the summer. 

Here’s a treat: If you live in Florida, Halloween Pennants are present year-round.  For you, today’s a good day look for this timely insect.  You’ll find him on the tip of a weed, riding the wind.
