If you photograph birds, insects, flowers and the like, you need to download the FREE App SEEK. As an example, I looked up the above photo in SEEK, and identified this in about five seconds off of the app. This app is great for items you only see once in a while, and while it doesn't get everything every time, I am amazed at how often it does identify these various items.

Thanks, but I don't need another app, when I get can the answers here or on Facebook.

That's a beauty Tony ! It's interesting that someone named this a Four Spotted Skimmer due to the two spots on each wing but they stopped counting at four. I found my first Twelve Spotted Skimmer a couple days ago and it has three spots on each wing but they named it after totaling the spots on all the wings. Maybe not so interesting but I find the names fascinating

Hey Gary, why do they call Ring-necked Ducks that when the white ring around their bills are far more prominent?

I've often wondered that same thing
