BG901 373b5 - Libellula auripennis - Female
Hwy 118, 2.1 mi. W Mink, Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, USA
June 5, 2004
Size: body length 54 mm.
Not easy to see on scans, but note the evenly bright costa with no color change at the nodus. On the similiar Libelulla needhami the inner half of the costa (from the nodus to the body)is dark. More info on lateral view.
