That looks like what we out h
That looks like what we out here call a "Dragon Fly". They like it when it's hot & moist. Humid areas are their favorite. I'll see if I can find a picture of one I took a few years back. It looks very similar to the one you posted.

Found & posted picture ......... you can find it in my images.
