Libellula lydia, Plathemis lydia
A teneral Common Whitetail dragonfly, either a female or an immature male. I spotted several of these dragonflies at the same time in the same location; they were easily spooked so it was difficult for me to shoot good photos of them using my iPhone 3GS. Photo 1 of 3 was cropped to highlight the dragonfly; Photo 2 of 3 is the original photograph. Photo 3 of 3 shows a female Common Whitetail dragonfly for comparison with Photos 1-2.
