Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax lingipennis) dragonfly at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Massachusetts

Betty Lou likes the dragonflies, so I take their photographs, too. This one is a Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax lingipennis) -- pretty, even with battle scars (probably a bird attack) on wing and torso.
