An area right between Crystal Lake and Big Muskellunge Lake.
Black-shouldered Spinyleg (
Dromogomphus spinosus)
Netted and released
Dragonhunter (
Hagenius brevistylus)
Netted and released
Basking on the sand of Crystal lake's shoreline, I caught it very slowly with my snorkel mask (unharmed). This is the same lake where I have hand plucked multiple Dragonhunters, they are very much not afraid of humans here.
Hagen's Bluet (
Enallagma hageni)
Netted and released
