Libellula cyanea
A female Spangled Skimmer dragonfly with a slightly malformed abdomen. I spotted this dragonfly in a large meadow far from the central wetland area. Two anatomical features are visible in all of the photos: the black and white pterostigma located near each wing tip; and the female terminal appendages located at the end of its abdomen.
