    Another Dragonfly ID
    Sorry its slightly blurry, I was surprised to see it, and only snapped off two shots before it flew off, then realized my shutter speed was a little slow:

    I think the slow shutter speed helped you get more DoF, the closest wings and the body look good to my ageing eyes.

    Flame Skimmer, Libellula saturata

    Come on guys, that one is not even close to hard. That is one of the most recognizable species in North America.

    There is a huge 2 page picture of it in S&S Guide to Insects.
