Anax junius
About 2 1/2 - 3 inches in length
The "bullseye" in front of the dragonfly's eyes is one of the key characteristics of Common Green Darners. The dragonfly's blue abdomen indicates it's a male.
Hi Kim! Did you try to ID this dragonfly? This one is easy. In fact, this type of dragonfly is quite common (hint, hint). At least take a guess and I'll let you know whether you guessed correctly, OK?
