Trying to pin down an ID on this Dragonfly. It's a fairly large one..
I've searched (including under "yellow tail") but just can't seem to find it.
Thanks!
Deb

There are more than one species in the family Libellulidae that can have this general color pattern. My best guess is that this could be a female great blue skimmer, Libellula vibrans - see http://tinyurl.com/mqlpc8 - this species exhibits considerable variation in coloration.

That certainly seems like the one, Suunto.
Thanks so much!
