Pacific Spiketail - Cordulegaster dorsalis
Row River Road, Lane County, Oregon, USA
July 14, 2002
The Spiketails were constantly cruising back and forth over a wet ditch alongside the road, never alighting. We tried to take a picture of one in the air and failed miserably! So unfortunately we only have one in the hand.
