They've actually been known to perch on occasion. I too have experienced the joys of photographing dragonflies in flight. Here's an attempt at a Riffle Darner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're very hard to tell apart--you need a high-res straight-down shot of the appendages on the tip of the abdomen, or so I read. And both are found throughout the Pacific Northwest, and a lot of other places. Edited March 27, 2021 by Jerry Friedman range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had some more shots but I can not find them so must have deleted them...something I do often and then regret doing it. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
