UW ARBORETUM PINETUM in LONGENECKER HORTICULTURAL GARDENS

Green-striped Darner (Aeshna verticalis)
Photographed
3 photos of same individual: this one was perched allowing us to watch for what seemed at least 10 minutes, allowed very close approach (my camera was within a few inches at times), and never flow off while we observed it. Several other mosaic darners were flying around in the vicinity but never landed - no idea what species those were.
