[Odonata-l] Oplonaeschna armata info

[Dennis Paulson]

Hello, all.

Does anyone out there have a specimen of a female Oplonaeschna armata  
(Riffle Darner) with intact cerci (terminal appendages) that you  
could photograph or scan and send me the image? All specimens and  
photos of this species I have seen have had broken-off cerci, as  
commonly happens in female aeshnids that oviposit in wood, and I have  
not been able to find a description of the intact cerci. Perhaps you  
would have to have an immature that hasn't oviposited (or even  
mated?) yet. Also, I don't suppose anyone has an actual photo of one  
in nature with intact cerci? There seem to be very few photos of this  
species taken in nature. Thanks for checking.
