Band-winged Meadowhawk - Sympetrum semicinctum - Female
State Capitol Campus, Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa, USA
June 29, 2010
Size: ~5 cm
Lone individual resting on plant in sidewalk flowerbed along urban street. ID by Inga Foster of Duluth, Minnesota, who observed "She may be newly-emerged as her bands and body are still quite light. When they mature, the bands sometimes get a darker tint toward the outside edges." See also the Iowa Odonata Survey webpage.
