[Odonata-l] RE : Etymology of Libellula incesta...

[Steve & Marcia M. Hummel]

Hi Michel,
This certainly isn't a Sympetrum, but rather a corduliid.  Living in 
the midwest I don't get to see these very often, but I would venture a 
guess that it is a racket-tailed emerald (Dorocordulia libera).  Maybe 
someone else can confirm or correct this.
