This is one of the first dragonflys I have seen this year. The color pattern on the wings is new to me. Most of the Swift Darters I see have transparent wings. I am by no means an expert on these insects.

Thanks for your help

Could be a female/immature male Carolina saddlebags Tramea carolina but I'd wait till you hear from someone who has studied US Odos before calling it that!

I'ld certainly go with Carolina Saddlebags on this one.

Oops,

I read Swiss Darters, not Swift Darters. Sorry!.
