Green darner? on daylily leaves - Anax junius - Female
Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
June 6, 2009
Here's a dorsal image. The first one is as close to lateral as I managed to get. It's a bit fuzzy toward the tip of the tail, so I hope it helps.

i agree + it's a female, i think
Anax junius - Common Green Darner, female (I think the red tail makes it female) The first example picture might be mislabeled as male.
I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure you're right.
