- "I caught a common dragonfly! I love the way they zoom around!" —Animal Crossing
The white-tailed skimmer, previously known as common dragonfly, is a common bug in the dragonfly family. It appears in Animal Forest, Animal Forest+, Animal Crossing, Animal Forest e+ and Pocket Camp. True to its name, it is the most common of the dragonflies during its season, being less abundant than the swarming red dragonfly in the autumn. It appears alone, similar to the banded and darner dragonfly, unlike red dragonflies do in Animal Crossing.

Further information[]
The common dragonfly is a representation of the white-tailed skimmer. This dragonfly can be found across nearly the entire Eurasian continent, from the plains of central Europe all the way to the islands of Japan. It does not tend to grow more than 7cm in wingspan, and lives near open ponds and lakes.
