There were about 8 or 10 of these dragonflies sunning themselves (?) on rocks in my field. Does anybody know what kind they are?
Thanks!

Looks like a Common Whitetail, Plathemis lydia:

It sure does! Thanks for that link. I'm glad to see they are eating my mosquitoes. I should be able to remember that name, I think.

Thanks!
