 I'm certain this is a darner but not sure which.

These are our Northern Artillery, they come in and kill all the blackflies.  We have plenty for them to eat!

Great picture!

I believe that is a blue dasher.   Nice one, well captured.

Yes Barbarian, you are right. I was thinking, "this dasher resembles a couple of darners" and typed darner.  :uglystupid: I was hoping to find a female to show the color difference next to him but couldn't locate one. Lot's of males around helping me to look though. :)    Thanks for the kind words.
