Dragonflies and Damselfliesdragonfly id?
Hi – loved your website!
My dad photographed this dragonfly on 10-6-05 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Do you know what kind it is? I’ve never seen one with those dark brown markings on the base of the wings. Sorry there’s not very good contrast between the wings and the background. We tried to move it, but it took off. Thanks for any info you have!

Hi Ann,
Nice photo of a Red Saddlebag, Tramea onusta. The markings on the hind wings are very distinctive. This dragonfly is found near broad, slow rivers with thick submerged vegetation.
