Plathemis lydia

Notes:

Sorry the picture's so blurry but this is all I got before it flew away. You can still see the markings pretty well, though.

I suspect that this is a female common whitetail dragonfly (Plathemis lydia). Take a look at this page: http://bugguide.net/node/view/445687/bgi.... If you want to widen the search start here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/381/bgimag...
