Variable Darner - Aeshna interrupta - Male
Weybridge, Addison County, Vermont, USA
September 6, 2010
found on the ground near a beaver pond on the trailside hiking up Snake Mountain. After the photo-op I set it on a nearby plant and it flew off seconds later. Looking for confirmation that it is Variable Darner (Aeshna interrupta).
