Blue Dasher

Pachydiplax longipennis

Description:

In wheel.

Notes:

I found this mating pair of Blue Dashers while I was walking around the lake at Dunbar Cave State Natural Area. The male is the one in front, the female is using her ovipositor to retrieve gamete that the male has placed in an area toward the beginning of his abdomen.
