Black legged meadowhawk dragonfly massachusetts - Sympetrum
Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA
September 28, 2009
Well I thought this was the same as the previous dragonfly I loaded up photos of - meaning an Autumn Meadowhawk. But now that I understand that the autumn meadowhawk has yellow / tan legs, I realize this one has dark legs. This was taken a day previously, but at a nearby pond.
