Green Darner?? - Erythemis collocata
DAVIS CREEK, Modoc County, California, USA
July 13, 2022
Size: 4.5 cm
Insect resembles a green darner, but not quite what I'm seeing images of. The coloration and the direction of the stripes are different that what I'm seeing online. The insect was on my mint and was eating small gnats.
