Although the desert may seem dry and absent of any life, there is a large variety of wildlife that can be seen in Las Vegas. This picture of a dragonfly, taken by me, showcases the natural aspects of Las Vegas that many people don’t think about. The only side of Las Vegas that many people see is the casinos, and they ignore what can often be seen in our own backyard. The insect pictured here is a flame skimmer, a male characterized by its bright orange color. These insects are native to the American Southwest, and can be seen in and around Las Vegas. They are just one example of the aforementioned large variety, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled.
