Shadow Darners without a doubt. I have saw them into Nov. but not this
late. They can be quite common in Oct. so no surprise to find them in
Nov.<br>

show) and a different abdominal pattern.&nbsp; Noteworthy is the fact

I'm familiar with the Common Green Darner, and saw the bugs well enough
to rule out that species, so I'm guessing the two were Shadow
Darners.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'll try the same area again later, and maybe I'll
be lucky with photos.<br><br>
