Good catch, Sue. It's getting a little late in the season to see dragonflies.

Nice capture Sue, but it is a damselfly, not a Dragonfly.

Wow Sue what a great find! This is a female Shadow Darner (Aeshna umbrosa). It is the latest flying darner in our area. I was at Goods this week and Shady Maple and only saw Wandering Gliders. And you always say you don't get good shots of dragons. Well done girl! Oh and by the way, this is a dragonfly. The very largest damselfly is about 4x smaller.

We saw this guy when we were out in Lancaster. We were in front of Good's store and the poor thing was flying all over looking for a place to land. There were no plants around...just a parking lot and this wall on which he landed! Not real good shots, but the best I've gotten!
Love Dragonfly's , Great Catch ;)

Thanks so much, Nick! Yes, it is late in the season for them; only in the 60s today!
