May 23, 2016 — Shawano County
Marsh area along McDonald Rd.
Common Green Darner (Anax junius)
Observed
Quite a few flying all over, some looked to be chasing other types of dragonflies.
Spiny Baskettail (
Epitheca spinigera)
Photographed
Many tenerals. There were areas of clouds of dragonflies, most of the baskettails were not in the marshy areas but more in the field areas.
Chalk-fronted Corporal (
Ladona julia)
Photographed
The Chalk-fronted Corporals were closer to the swampy areas than the baskettails along with some teneral dot-tails.
Dot-tailed Whiteface (
Leucorrhinia intacta)
Photographed
Mixed with Chalk-fronted Corporals which really made the Dot-tails look small.
Four-spotted Skimmer (
Libellula quadrimaculata)
Photographed
I saw fewer of these than the Chalk-fronts and Dot-tails.
