Allegheny River Cruiser - Macromia alleghaniensis - Male
Allegany County, Maryland, USA
July 9, 2006
This beaut slowly flew past me on a trail high on a bluff of the Potomac River - and then landed! Not only that, but it then allowed my friend Bruce and I to approach it slowly and take many photos. What fantastic luck with a beautiful dragon.
