Cool dragonfly

See quite a few of these at work. This one was resting I think.

Beautiful!

 

[BCscorp]

I agree, very beautiful.

Wow, awesome shots! Do you know what species it is? It's a darner, but after that I'm not sure.

 

[BCscorp]

I will try to find out.

Definitely your good ol' Anax junius or the Green Darner, unless you come from the Eastern Hemisphere which has species like A. imperator and A. chloromelas.

Vancouver island

Yup, then that's what it is then, a bright blue male Green Darner.

Right on, thanks.
Here's where I look for local critter ID's.
