Recently, I took an Odonata (dragonfly and damselfly) monitoring class, and we of course were introduced to dragonfly id… The class inspired me to go back through my pictures and try to identify at least a couple. I just spent the last 2 hours on this pursuit, and I cannot say I am 100% positive about my i.d. with the exception of one common green darner, which I knew before the class (one of maybe three I was familiar with).

Anyways, these insects are so spectacular in their look and
flying abilities that I think this summer I will be paying a lot more attention
to them. Quickly I just wanted to post a
couple of pictures of these flying machines. The earliest ones should be coming
to Chicagoland within a month – be on a lookout!
