Dorocordulia libera - Male
Almonte, Lanark, Ontario, Canada
June 14, 2017
Identified as the Racket-tailed Emerald (Dorocordulia libera) by a Bug Guide expert; some guides show eyes as bright green, not blue (this is not a light artifact as a another species with bright green eyes was also present; see later postings). At a swamp edge.
