COMET DARNER ANAX LONGIPE DRAGONFLY _0394.jpg

THANK YOU SO MUCH SAM FOR THE IDENTIFICATION

Comet Darners are a sight to behold at three inches long, these mega-insects have a cherry red abdomen. Considered rare, they are easily distinguished from the frequently seen Common Green Darners.

very beautiful close-up ! v
globalgadabout18-Jun-2011 16:33
ahhh...that should be an olive green `thorax` for the female..
globalgadabout18-Jun-2011 16:31
a quick check in an old Audubon Guide suggests it could be a female Half-Banded Toper (sympetrum semicinctum)...the only photo with a similar orange-red abdomen was of a male, with reddish brown thorax...yet the related text suggests the female has an olive green abdomen..in any case it`s a colourful specimen..
Sam Rua18-Jun-2011 16:25
And it looks like a male...
Sam Rua18-Jun-2011 16:23
Most likely a Comet Darner, Marcia. (Anax longpipes)
Very cool DF.
