female Widow Skimmer - Libellula luctuosa - Female
Cass County, Texas, USA

I think this shows a female Widow Skimmer but will wait for confirmation before moving it to:
"libellula luctuosa".

Looks good - gender and species
but what number is this one? Did you give up after that 111th one? You should make a dragonfly calendar.

Image names and numbers
The number 111 was a mistake. It was really meant to be just 11. I do have a lot of Dragonfly images but only have images of about a dozen of the 65 or so species in my area and not both genders of all of those. There are a half dozen other local species I have seen but not been able to photograph/ and or identify yet because they never seem to perch, lol. The saddle-wings especially, lol.

I have been planning to do a calender and/or some posters of Dragonflies, caterpillars, mushrooms, bugs, etc. but they are all still in the planning stage, lol.
