Description

John Abbott, Kendra Abbott, Ken Tennessen, Laura Clark, and I were doing some investigative research into the life history of this newly described dragonfly (described new to science by Abbott and Hibbitts in 2011).

A total of 4 (3 males and one female) were netted, color marked, and released for later recognition. Image 1 shows a perched male before it was caught. Image 2 a male in hand. Images 3 and 4 show a male an hour or so after it had been color marked and released.
