Gomphus (dragonfly)
''Gomphus'' is a genus of clubtail dragonflies in the family Gomphidae. As a result of phylogenetic studies, ''Gomphus'' subgenera ''Gomphurus'', ''Hylogomphus'', ''Phanogomphus'', and ''Stenogomphurus'' were elevated in rank to genus in 2017.

Yellow Clubtail
Yellow is the color between green and orange on the spectrum of light. It is evoked by light with a dominant wavelength of roughly 575585 nm. It is a primary color in subtractive color systems, used in painting or color printing. In the RGB color model, used to create colors on television and computer screens, yellow is a secondary color made by combining red and green at equal intensity. Carotenoids give the characteristic yellow color to autumn leaves, corn, canaries, daffodils, and lemons, as well as egg yolks, buttercups, and bananas. They absorb light energy and protect plants from photo damage in some cases. Sunlight has a slight yellowish hue when the Sun is near the horizon, due to atmospheric scattering of shorter wavelengths (green, blue, and violet). Because it was widely available, yellow ochre pigment was one of the first colors used in art; the Lascaux cave in France has a painting of a yellow horse 17,000 years old. Ochre and orpiment pigments were ...
