On cattail in small pond. I don't know how far this can be identified. Is it at least a dragonfly?
This is the lower exuviae in this image.

Are you saying that this is not Aeshnidae
or is there another reason for moving it from Aeshnid exuviae?

Oops
This got tagged by mistake. Was moving things out of Odonata.

Definately a dragonfly exuvia
and probably a darner. Compare with this Anax junius.

I agree.
Definitely something from the Aeshnidae family.

Aeshnidae
I'll move it to Aeshnidae.
