unknown bug in June near Russell Mill Pond and Town Forest in northeastern Massachusetts

Back home I find this exotic bug posing for a photo. It looks like a dragonfly (with two pairs of wings), but it is probably a different genus because it rests its wings to the side, has black eyes, and sports a large antenna pair. For me, the interesting thing is it's unusual wing pattern: it looks like it was manufactured with square struts!
