Libellula vibrans
I spotted this Great Blue Skimmer dragonfly in a meadow located at least 100 yards from the wetlands. This individual is an immature male, based upon the appearance of the terminal appendages at the end of its abdomen.

Looks like a teneral female. One wing looks to be malformed during emergence. A dragonfly can fly with only 3 wings intact. Good luck little dragonfly.
