A fairly common lump of a species around Southern Quebec in most habitats. Not a great one for landing and letting you take a picture although sometimes you get lucky. As a species to ID the great big dot between the eyes is a dead giveaway.
Green Darners fly May to September, swarming late in the season before undertaking a southerly migration. This happy lifestyle has seen odd ones cross the Atlantic to Europe where Odonuts (like me, sadly) travel to see them. Draglonfly enthusiasts probably need a term for those who seek out new species and will travel to see rare ones, answers on an email to...
The one here is a possibly a female although young males can look very similar. I'll post a nice adult male when I get the chance of one.
