Found this while camping - Macromia magnifica
Grass Valley, California, USA
May 27, 2013
I found this while camping at Rollins lake and it was fairly large, you can see its size compared to the wiffle ball its on. It was also really slow moving if that helps at all. It was also raining when we found it.
