Oklahoma Dragonflies and Damselflies

Photographed around back yard and pond in northeastern Oklahoma. About 25 dragonfly and 13 damselfly species have been photographed so far at the pond.
A few other species were found nearby: Calico Pennant, Halloween Pennant, Spangled Skimmer, Swamp Darner and Familiar Bluet
These can change appearance with age so several photos of each species are included from the season.
References: Odonata Central
Photos and data for 43 species have been submitted to the U. Texas database (Odonata Central)
