Libellula pulchella
This is my first spotting of a female, I spotted it in the central area of Huntley Meadows Park. "It is a large species, at 50 mm (2.0 in) long. Each wing has three brown spots. In adult males, additional white spots form between the brown ones and at the bases of the hindwings; it is sometimes called the Ten-spot Skimmer for the number of these white spots."

Great capture!
Thank you! I use a Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm.
Looks very similar to some of the pictures I've taken.
Louisa, Nice, clear photos. Can I ask what camera/lens setup you used?
