All are invited to view about 20 photos of dragonflies and damselflies I've taken over the past few months in various locations -- Halifax, Cape Breton, Fredericton, and Nebraska. The gallery is only in its infancy. Using A Field Guide to Dragonflies and Damselflies of Massachusetts (new edition just published this year) -- a book once recommended on this listserv -- I've tried to identify the species, and am quite sure of the identity of a few, including Chalk-fronted Corporal, Twelve-spotted Skimmer, and Common Whitetail. In other cases, the family of species seems clear -- Meadowhawk, Darner, Bluet -- but the specific species I'm having difficulty figuring out. Help from those with expertise in odonates would be appreciated.
    Is there another book I should use as a supplement to the Massachusetts one?
    Even those with little interest in these insects might like to take a gander at photos of a kind of red Meadowhawk caught in their "mating wheel" position in Pt. Pleasant Park.
    cheers, Brian
