Picture of the day The eastern amberwing (Perithemis tenera) is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae. It is very small, reaching a total length of no more than 25 millimetres (0.98 in). Males have orange or amber wings, and both sexes have a red pterostigma. The species is found in eastern North America, from northern Mexico northwards to south-eastern Canada. The eastern amberwing is one of the only types of dragonfly that actively mimics a wasp; the yellow and brown stripes on its abdomen encourage predators to stay away. This male eastern amberwing was photographed in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, New York City.Photograph credit: Rhododendrites Tip of the day... Wikimedia links and shortcuts Internal links work for linking to other wikis, and bypasses the need to paste in URLs (which tend to be both long and cryptic and make source text harder to read). This also avoids the appearance of the external link arrow ( ). Here are the prefixes and shortcuts for creating links to Wikipedia's sister projects: Project Example Shortcut Example [[wikibooks:]] wikibooks: [[b:]] b: [[commons:]] commons: [[c:]] c: [[wikidata:]] wikidata: [[d:]] d: [[meta:]] meta: [[m:]] m: [[wikinews:]] wikinews: [[n:]] n: [[phabricator:]] phabricator: [[phab:]] phab: [[wikiquote:]] wikiquote: [[q:]] q: [[wikisource:]] wikisource: [[s:]] s: [[wikispecies:]] wikispecies: [[species:]] species: [[wikiversity:]] wikiversity: [[v:]] v: [[wikivoyage:]] wikivoyage: [[voy:]] voy: [[wikipedia:]] [[wikipedia:]] [[w:]] w: [[wiktionary:]] wiktionary: [[wikt:]] wikt: The long form does not work within the same project. The shortcut works everywhere. Links to foreign-language Wikiprojects can be made by prefixing the language code: [[:de:s:]] will link to the German-language Wikisource, [[:fr:wikt:]] to the French-language Wiktionary, etc. You can use piped links ( "|" ) to avoid seeing the colons in the link.
