Is this a Dragonfly? - Hexagenia
McDonough, Henry County, Georgia, USA
June 5, 2006
Size: aprox 4" (head to tail)
Is this a Dragonfly... This one was on my screen door and didn't seem to be bothered when I opened and closed it multiple times. I have never seen a dragonfly this still and the head doesn't look right to me, but I am not an expert.
