This dragonfly landed on our porch in DC this weekend. It remained in the same spot as where we first saw it, and unfortunately died overnight.

CLOSED: Dragonfly in DC
This is a darner (Odonata: Aeschnidae); possibly the swamp darner (Epiaeschna heros) - see http://www.bigeastern.com/eotp/epiaeschna_heros.htm
Note the blue eyes.
