There are two species of Darters that at first glance may look very similar and can be easily confused for one another so I thought I would share some very recent images.

This female Blue Dasher dragonfly kept posing for me, but she sure did make me work for the photos. She would sit for a few seconds, and when I would get the camera focused on her, she'd change her mind (hey, she IS a female) and decide to go pose in another area for me.
