Yes it is. I dropped the wrong pic - this is one hanging in my yard. My Darner (confirmed id based on larval form) was one I raised from a nymph and later released.
Thank you - this one threw me, given where I found it.
Thanks - got a patch of them in my woods.
Definitely thistle. Can't quite tell species from the pics.
