dragonfly with green bands - Aeshna umbrosa
Barton, Orleans County, Vermont, USA

Size: large
Trapped in garage. I thought, after searching and looking, that this was blue-eyed darner but they don't live in northern New England. This one isn't in my books, either (or the gender of this species isn't). Anyhow, after photos, it was released and flew away safely. Thank you for any help.
