Hi,
I don't normally see a lot of Dragonflies in my yard, but there have been quite a few of these pretty red ones around for about a week. I'd love to know what kind they are.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I am Guessing it is a White-faced Meadowhawk.

Sanuye & Flapdoodle - I really appreciate the info from both of you. With your help, I was able to add my Dragonfly pictures to BugFiles. Thanks!
