The king of hearts

Happy Valentine's Day!  To celebrate, here is a photograph of one of the most remarkable -- and occasion-appropriate -- insects that I have seen recently: a dragonfly covered in red hearts.

A male calico pennant (Celithemis elisa).

If you look closely, you can see two hearts inside the large dark splotches on the dragonfly's hindwings in addition to the four hearts (and one broken heart) on the dragonfly's abdomen.  Female calico pennants have a similar pattern, but with yellow markings instead of red ones.  Therefore, the females bear a close resemblance to their close relative (and another holiday dragonfly), the Halloween pennant (Celithemis eponina).
