Thanks Atul. it's amazing !!, All the changes that occur with the change in a season!. Fall has brought in so much more. unfortunately I am nursing a sore foot after all my summer hiking on top of Mt Diablo. Things are at a standstill :)
In the mean time I might as well fine tune my work. Do my write ups , Id's etc etc.
Long way to go in terms of photography. But am really enjoying the awesome spottings coming in on Project Noah.Nice to hear from U!!
@misako.hill i think it is Enallagma ebrium but not sure that site did not name this one. @Emma yes i discovered that when researching dragonflies a few months ago there are even some that have virtually the same phenotype genetics is used to mainly distinguish between them
Did you know that there are more than one species of Sparrows,squirrels ,Scrub jays , bluets .... Some of the surprises i recently discovered!
wow--and I thought ladybug species were hard to ID!
I have an Enallagma that looks exactly like this photo: http://www.dragonfly-site.com/pictures-2... that @ hg_williams. It has the little black dot on the segments. What is the species name of that one?
you saw it i real life so you might pick up a few some-what cognative differences that i cannot
That may very well be it but also compare these http://www.pugetsound.edu/files/resource...
male and pair Enallagma basidens and male Enallagma aspersum
@ hg_williams,
I think it is "Enallagma annexum"
