Maybe Band-winged dragonlet ? - Erythrodiplax umbrata
Ft. Myers, Lee County, Florida, USA
August 5, 2013
Size: 2.5 inches
I believe this is a Band-winged dragonlet, possibly female, but I have another of my own photos of the Brown form of the Band-winged dragonlet & this one looks a little different. Is this an adult?

Agree
Band-winged dragonlet (heteromorph female). Erythrodiplax umbrata. Dead ringer for a picture in Paulson's book.

Thanks!
I really appreciate the confirmation! I'm sure I'll be getting Paulson's book either for my birthday or for a holiday gift - it's on the top of my list!! Thanks again, Nancy
