Marie,
I thought you might like the attached photo of an male Eastern Amberwing
that I recently took, just a few feet inside the park, from the 72nd Street & Central Park West entrance. It is in the obelisk posture. A posture assumed by some dragonflies to minimize the surface area they expose to the heat of the sun. So called because it suggests an obelisk.
