Can anyone ID this dragonfly for me? I'm not too good with dragonflies. Also, any IDing techniques you could give me would be much appreciated.

looks like
Seaside dragonlet, an old female

i.d.ing suggestion. Get a field guide (book) and learn first how to tell families apart. Get hold of a list of species for the state(s) you find them in. Lots of them are online.

Cool. I was actually thinking Seaside Dragonlet too. I have another specimen. I think it's the same species, only a male.
