Dragonflies
Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, USA
May 21, 2009
Size: 2-2.5"
I saw these two dragonflies flying around each other. They appear to be of the same species, but are patterned differently. I was thinking they were Whitefaces (Leucorrhinia), but I'm not sure if they're even the same species or sex.
