G. externus female
looks good to me and the date matches when we get emergence from the Red R. in Winnipeg.

I'd like to see you get more Odonata so we can see if you have species we haven't found yet but should be looking for in Manitoba.

Thanks, Larry!
I'm hoping to collect more Odonata from down this way next summer, now that I've got a good net. Candidly, I'm surprised that we don't have more North Dakotans contributing insect photos on a regular basis to this forum. This summer I've been really focusing on getting good images of our local moths, which has been a time-consuming effort! ;-)
