Dragonfly Exuviae

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.

Moved from Darners.

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.
