According to eNature.com's online insect guide, that is a female Common Whitetail Dragonfly. Go to eNature.com to check it out. They have the BEST online guides to identify ANY plant, animal, bird, fish, amphibian, reptile, or insect, native to North America. By using the Advance Search mode, you can GREATLY reduce the number of choices of what you are looking for by using their fill in the blank methods.

I keep My digital in my pocket 24/7. The best way to get a Dragonfly to sit still for you is to go fishing. They Will ALWAYS fly by and land with their wings spread, right on the tip of your fishing pole!
