Hine's Emerald Dragonfly - Somatochlora hineana
Baileys Harbor, Door County, Wisconsin, USA
July 21, 2012
Photographed this Dragon at The Ridges Sanctuary in Door County, Wis, which is home to one one the largest populations of Hine's Emerald Dragonflies. It was photographed late morning, and it never perched so I didn't have a chance to get any great detail shots.

Great shot!
Wow, I imagine you could have gotten more detail if it had perched, but I am always amazed at clear photos like this of insects in flight. Even the wings are in fairly good focus here. Great shot!

Sorry, I don't have anything to add about IDing this.
