Shadow Darner ID Check - Aeshna umbrosa

Shadow Darner ID Check - Aeshna umbrosa
Gibson Woods Nature Preserve, Hammond, IN, Lake County, Indiana, USA
August 19, 2015
Size: 3 inches
I would like to verify that the pictures (I hope I can put them together) here are of a Shadow Darner. One specimen has much more color than the others and I was wondering if it were a more mature dragonfly. I think they are male.

Moved
Moved from ID Request. Are you saying these are four different individuals? Or are some of the images of the same individual? We will unlink these, but can link back together any that are of the same individual.

one specimen per submission
is the rule here.
that said, all your specimens appear to be Shadow darner.

 
Thank You
I appreciate your help. thanks,
