The Widow Skimmer (Libellula luctuosa) is a common skimmer, found at lakes and ponds across the United States.

Large dark wing spots along the lower wings with smaller dark spots at the wing tips are typical field identification marks for the females.

Males have additional white wing spots between the dark wing spots, along with white on the abdomen.
