not in Canada
It's one of the Aeshnas, not sure from this angle but likely Shadow or possibly Green-striped.

Darner
Hi Yvonne, you may want to try Lance-tipped Darner, this female has lance shaped cerci and the spot on S9 is large and square (this spot larger than on S8).

Cheers.

I would say Lance-tipped female as well
Central spike on S2, size of abdominal spots etc. make me think A. contricta.
