Shadow Darner (Aeshna umbrosa)
Photographed
Dragonfly had dark brown eyes with light yellow posterior fringe. Abdominal segment colors were distinctive, but difficult to match with field guide photos. It is likely a female, but I am not at all certain that it is a Canada Darner. Feedback would be welcome. Changed to shadow darner by RBD.
