Ochre-tipped Darner (Dromaeschna weiskei)Observer
silramDescription
We sighted this male Ochre-tipped Darner hunting and we kept a very close watch on it. It finally decided to land quite low near us. As we searched for it in the foliage it suddenly shot out from under some fern leaves and landed just to the right of us. The first three images are of it at that position hanging of a leaf. After a while it flew again but not far, it landed only three metres slightly above us to the left and on a clear twig, enabling us to shoot “ a virtual 360 degree tour “ of it, without being disturbed by us in any way whatsoever, shot after shot after shot. One very obliging male !! After having gotten all the images we wanted we left it there in peace and kept saying “Thank you – Thank you - Thank you”, as we walked away in a daze !!

Fawn Darner (Boyeria vinosa)Observer
kristen_smith2Description
I think I need a field guide to just dragonflies. I found this one emerging, quite late, by Ripley creek. Isn't it great how it climbed all the way to the top of this stick? OM 90mm at f5.6
September update - field guide says this is most likely a Fawn Darner (boyeria vinosa)

Comet Darner (Anax longipes)Observer
beschwarDescription
An unsuccessful emergence that appeared to have been stopped by a Polistes sp wasp killing and eating it. I watched the wasp eat and chew out chunks of tissue, fly away with them, and then return for more. A series of photos showing some of this, including some in which the wasp is holding the right eye prior to flying away with it.

Black-lined Flatwing (Heteragrion calendulum)Observer
camerondeckertDescription
Nick Donnelly described Heteragrion atrolineatum from Panama in 1992, and it was later synonymized with H. calendulum. This is the first record of H. calendulum for iNaturalist.
I observed about 6 different individuals along the rio by Rancho Frio. Males perched on sticks in the river, but only present there in the later afternoon, when the sun was no longer on the river.

Shining Clubtail (Stylurus ivae)Observer
stevecollinsDescription
A nemesis has fallen! This past weekend was perhaps the sixth time I've made a serious attempt at finding Stylurus ivae, an autumn-flying southeastern river specialty.
Giff Beaton suggested the best time to find them was 3-5PM, and on my second day of searching for them, one landed next to me in the stream at 4:30PM. Yes!
