Description
I've been trying and trying to get a decent picture of a red dragonfly - not easy! This is what I've got right now and I think the ID is correct. Any advise on a different ID is most welcome:>)
This pretty dragonfly was protecting it's territory next to the Green Lane Reservoir in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA, and the picture was taken August 25, 2012.
