Thanks Cora and Marian...we are lucky to have these guys showing up. At the same location as this dragonfly, also were many damselflies in many different colors. I have seen just a few butterflies so far.

Hello ChicaD,
Looks like you have a Stygian Shadowdragon, ( Neurocordulia yamaskanensis)
None of the other dragonflies show the same wing venation with amber coloration. Look at the base of it's wings. They hunt after dark, late dusk and moonlit evenings. I haven't seen this one yet. This is Brian by the way.

Thanks again Oppie for giving this dragon an ID for me. I also found your information fasinating as well. :t::t:
