While walking along Murphy Cove Road on the Prospect Peninsula 
yesterday I encoutered two large darner dragonflies having a 
territorial dispute.   I was unable to observe them at length, or 
take a photo, but this seems a late date for dragonflies to still be 
on the wing.   What are the "normal" late dates for dragonflies, and 
what darner species are seen so late in the autumn?

Cheers,

Blake
