Aeshna canadensis, likely

Wasco Co., Oregon, USA

Canada Darner with reservations. This looks to me like a Lake Darner. The dark face line, the less than 90 degree indent on anterior thoracic stripe and the green rather than blue tinted face are the reasons. On the other hand, no other A. eremita were caught, seen or identified by six people working with nets at this site whereas A. canadensis were common. And further, it wasn't the usual A. eremita habitat and there are no records of them in Oregon.
