Banded Pennant - Celithemis fasciata - Male
Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area, Orange County, North Carolina, USA

This location has two pretty little farm ponds surrounded by woodland, and is just full of odonates in season, especially Banded, Halloween, and Calico Pennants.

(This is one of my few slides that I feel approaches the quality of a good digital image. It was taken on Fuji Sensia 100 film. I've had similar good results with Kodachrome 64. I really enjoy being able to get low noise/grain images now at ISO 400 with my Canon 10D.)
