Title: Looking for Id of dragonfly
Post by: lovemypt on May 01, 2011, 05:35:18 PM

Can anyone tell me if this type of dragonfly has a specific name, which I am sure it does? (Sorry I have not figured out how to attached pictures directly to this email instead of having to redirect you to another site.)

Green darner, probably the most common dragonfly around.

yes, this is a common green darner,  somewhat early but some people have been seeing them as of late. The only other similar species would be a comet darner but, that would be a very rare and lucky find. You'll see lots of these common greens up until Late October.
