Re: RE : [Odonata-l] Texas Dragonfly to identify...

[Glenn Corbiere]

Michel,

I was visiting Texas a few years back on a business trip, I was near the coast Southeast of Houston. I spent an entire day on three beautiful wetland areas. I saw 6,010 (in round numbers) different individual dragonflies and or damselflies.

5,000 were Erythemis simplicicollis / Eastern Pondhawk
1,000 were Pachydiplax longipennis / Blue Dasher
The remaining 10 were a total of about 6 or 8 other species.

I was not amused.

Be that as it may, you have one very common dragonfly there, and probably the most common dragonfly around any of these parts, but you have one of the nicest photos I've ever seen of that species!

So ultra common or not, Congratulations on a great photo!

Glenn

Thank you very much Tim and Joshua for your help for this one. 

So, I was wrong!!! It is not a lifer for me for I photographied the green female few years ago in the Massachussets!

I didn't recognize the male here and being in Texas I was hoping for a more exotic (at least for me) species ;-)

Thank you very much one more time! Your help is greatly appreciated :-)



Michel
