Celithemis fasciata
This dragonfly has wings that are marked with a black tip, a black spot on the leading edge near the nodus and a variable black spot at the base of the wing. The basal spot tends to be larger in southern individuals. Females are browner, with a row of narrow yellow triangles on the top of the abdomen. It is small, being about 33 mm (1.3 in).
It lives around ponds, lakes, and ditches. This one was photographed near a farm pond in Edgefield County, SC.
