Northern Spreadwing Dragonfly

Lestes disjunctus

Description:

Found on my porch. (Oregon, mid-Willamette valley) If this is a different kind of spreadwing let me know, I couldn't find one with a blue tipped tail online that matches this, I'm pretty certain it's a spreadwing dragonfly though.

Notes:

I think he was challenging my deck to a duel or asking it out on a date. He spent about five minutes dancing around this piece sticking out of the deck.
