I prefer to think I provided guidance that enabled you to make a self-correction. Although the terminal appendages aren't very clear in Photo 1, I'm fairly certain your dragonfly is an immature male.

Thanks for the correction Walter!

Are you sure this dragonfly is a female, Karen? I suggest you take a look at one of my recent spottings (it features a mini-lesson on Eastern Pondhawk terminal appendages) and let me know what you think. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/244...
