A wetland area next to the Manitowoc river.
Common Whitetail (
Plathemis lydia)
Photographed
Initially, I was trying to get a picture through some low brush, but while I was focusing my camera, it flew right in front of my foot!
Dot-tailed Whiteface (
Leucorrhinia intacta)
Photographed
Hovering above grasses that always have bluets.
Twelve-spotted Skimmer (
Libellula pulchella)
Photographed
Lovely female.
Boreal Bluet (
Enallagma boreale)
Photographed
I went back and forth between the Boreal and Northern. I blew up the cercus and it looks more the Boreal cercus.
Eastern Forktail (
Ischnura verticalis)
Photographed
Rainbow Bluet (
Enallagma antennatum)
Photographed
I'm not completely convinced of this, because the thorax is more blue than green. The orange/white face is very striking.
Taiga Bluet (
Coenagrion resolutum)
Photographed
