Incurvate Emerald (Somatochlora incurvata)
Observed
A few Somatachlora sp. tried to patrol over pond and were driven off by other dragonflies. Never had a chance to net one... (RBD note: based on location it is likely that some or at least one were incurvata, but because none were netted and other species of Somatochlora occur in the area, this should be regarded as an uncertain identification.)
