  6. Your i.d.s are fine, I know those first three from Lake Siri in W.V. I never see the Great Blue Skimmer, though.

    Lovely shots!

  7. Lovely work Lea. And thank you for posting the scientific names, it helps me understand the relationship to some of our UK Libelulla.

  9. The dragonflies are great, and with identifications too! I like the pale blue of the Widow Skimmer's tail, it matches the color of the Great Blue Skimmer, so pretty!
