Hello. We live in Maricopa AZ. My 4 year old daughter has become quite the bug enthusiast and I can google my way through most identifications but this one has me stumped. I believe it is an odonata of some type but I can't figure out what one. Some parts that have me stumped are it's thicker antennae and the ways it's wings attach. Thank you for you help!
