Twelve-Spotted Skimmer (female)

Hey Lindsy! I'm working on an interactive mini-field guide to dragonfly identification. The guide will be focused on how to identify similar-looking dragonflies, such as the many species of female dragonflies with brown-and-yellow abdomens. The interactive version of my "book" will be in Apple iBooks format, and will be free; a PDF version (non-interactive) will be available too. May I have permission to use your photo in my guide? Of course credit will be given to the photographer. Is a higher-resolution version of the photo available? Please contact me directly at the following e-mail address: Walter Sanford, a.k.a., "Geodialist" [email protected]

I'm seeing a trend: I think you might be a female dragonfly specialist, Lindsy! But seriously, notice the similarity between the bodies of the female Widow Skimmer in your collection and this individual.

I know it has been unseasonably warm, but did you actually spot these dragonflies in March?
