Dragonflies and DamselfliesCommon Whitetail Dragonfly?
Hello, Mr. Bugman!
Love your site! I believe the attached photo is a Common Whitetail Dragonfly. It looks similar to a Broad-Bodied Chaser Dragonfly, but the wing spots would be in the wrong place, so that makes me think it’s a Common Whitetail…? Taken 6/9/07 in rural Eau Claire, Wisconsin on a hot, sunny day. Thanks!

Hi Denise,
Your identification is correct. This is a male Common Whitetail, Plathemis lydia.
