Dragonhunter (DDF551) - Hagenius brevistylus
Near C&O Canal, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA
June 22, 2009
The abdomen markings suggest the black-shouldered spinyleg, but the thorax markings don't match the photos I've seen of the spinyleg - appear closer to the elusive clubtail shown in Dunkel, but abdomen doesn't match the elusive. Will try putting closeup of thorax per instructions. Appreciate help with ID.
