“Cardinal Meadowhawk,” said Dennis Paulson, “just like home in Seattle.” Even I knew this species, in my case, from Olympia, Washington. This observation was one of but a handful of Costa Rican dragonflies that were not new for us. This meadowhawk watched as our group hiked down the road near the UGA Costa Rica Campus near Monteverde on 6 July.
Cardinal Meadowhawks range across the West Coast and in the southern South West in the United States, south through the mountains to Panama. The wide range of some dragonflies, compared to limited distributions of others, is intriguing.
