Wow! Ok yes I just assumed with the wings! But now at a second look you are right!!! Oh boy! gonna mark it as unknown for now quick! ;)
Hi Smith Zoo! I just love this series. Your insect, however, looks to be an Antlion, Family Myrmeleontidae rather than a Dragonfly. I am unfamiliar with the species in your area so I can't help you much more than that.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antlion
