Hello, all.

I am writing a field guide to the Odonata of western North America  
north of Mexico, illustrated by photos. I have been acquiring photos  
for the past year, traveling around and trying to get as many as I  
can myself but also asking for the help of my colleagues. I have  
exhausted all the sources known to me, and I still have a list of 23  
species for which I have been unable to find any photo of a FEMALE.

Aeshna walkeri	Walker's Darner
Anax concolor	Blue-spotted Comet Darner
Remartinia luteipennis	Malachite Darner
Arigomphus lentulus	Stillwater Clubtail
Erpetogomphus heterodon	Dashed Ringtail
Erpetogomphus l. lampropeltis	Serpent Ringtail
Gomphus gonzalezi	Tamaulipan Clubtail
Gomphus modestus	Gulf Coast Clubtail
Stylogomphus sigmastylus	Interior Least Clubtail
Stylurus notatus	Elusive Clubtail
Macromia i. illinoiensis	Swift River Cruiser
Somatochlora cingulata	Lake Emerald
Somatochlora ensigera	Plains Emerald
Somatochlora forcipata	Forcipate Emerald
Somatochlora georgiana	Coppery Emerald
Somatochlora hudsonica	Hudsonian Emerald
Somatochlora margarita	Texas Emerald
Somatochlora sahlbergi	Treeline Emerald
Somatochlora septentrionalis	Muskeg Emerald
Brechmorhoga pertinax	Masked Clubskimmer
Erythemis mithroides	Claret Pondhawk
Tauriphila azteca	Aztec Glider
Tramea abdominalis	Vermilion Saddlebags

I am also lacking photos of one of the female morphs of a few  
damselflies.

Ischnura barberi	Desert Forktail    andromorph	
Ischnura damula	Plains Forktail    mature hetero	

If anyone has any of these photos and is willing to let me use it in  
this book, I will be forever grateful. I have no photo budget, but  
all photographers get a copy of the book.

Thanks, and sorry for the duplicate posting.
