Before You Commit...
Not an expert, but this looks more like a Tramea carolina, Carolina Saddlebags

Red Saddlebags have black only on top of S8 and S9 and less extensive red on the wings than yours appears to have .

Yeah, OK, thank you
I'm FAR from an expert, just like taking photos of these guys. I definitely think you're right; I'll make the edit. I'm an old dude, but I still like educating myself on wildlife. Thanks again!

You're Welcome...
If you're ever unsure about a species, it's best to place the image in the Odonata section or ID Request. That way the experts can find it more easily.

OK, thank you, Monica
I'm not really familiar with this site, so thanks for your help. Didn't even see the "ID request" button until you mentioned it. Will use it when I'm not sure.
