Anax junius
A large dark bulls eye in front of the eyes. This is a very large dragonfly with a length of 2 3/4 to 3 1/8 inches (68 to 80 mm). The thorax of the male is brownish green to yellowish green and unmarked. The abdomen is bright blue, changing to green towards the rear, and marked with black. The female is primarily yellowish green and marked with brownish black on the abdomen.
Flying back and forth over the pool. Managed a rear shot as it left the yard.
