Thank you so very much! Now I am by no means an expert when it comes to naming these dragonflies but I did find out that yes some species do come in different colors. Immature males may look totally different than an adult male. Some immature males may even resemble females except for some very slight differences. And in some species females look so totally different than males that someone would think they may be an entirely different species! So with that in mind I think the first pic you are referring to (#2) is more than likely an immature male or female Four Spotted Pennant. If you look closely, they kinda look like shadows, you can see the four spots on the wings.
As to the Ponhawks, this is one of those species where the male and female look so totally different that they may seem like two separate kinds. The males also look very similar to the mature Blue Dasher except for the size and the coloring on the end of their tails. The Pondhawk males have white tips on the very end of their tails and the Dashers have black on the tips of their tails. So pic #8 I believe to be a mature male Pondhawk while #7 is a female.
Now that I've said all that I may be completely wrong! I gave myself a headache trying to ID these guys.
Thanks for taking the time to look and comment!
