Thin tail - Erythemis plebeja - Male
Seminole, Pinellas County, Florida, USA
April 16, 2007
Size: 2 1/2"
While we're at it...
Don't see a lot of these, but they're not all that unusual. I've been calling this one "Thin Tail", but I'm sure that's got to be wrong.
Any help here?

OK, certainly looks right...
I guess "Thin Tail" wasn't that far off after all.
Thanks again for your input. I'll move all this to the guide page.
