Celithemis fasciata

provided by wikipedia EN

Celithemis fasciata, commonly known as the banded pennant, is a species of dragonfly in the skimmer family. It is native to the United States, where it is found in the south-central, southeastern, and eastern regions.[1]

The extensive, sharply defined black markings on its wings are distinctive, but the pattern varies considerably; individuals from the northern part of its range tend to have less wing coloration.[2] It is about 33 mm (1.3 in) long.

It lives around ponds, lakes, and ditches.
