Thanks Larry!
for checking this out. Can you tell me if there is anyone who monitors or referees this section to confirm IDs? Also, dumb question, but can you tell if this is a female or male, and how do you tell that?

Go to the Plains clubtail species page here and look for pictures of males. (enter the name in the search box and scroll down through the results and you'll figure out how to get there). The appendages at the end of the abdomen are different.
