Odonata Photograph Page

This page has a number of additional pictures of Odonata that I took at the meeting.  Some of the pictures are large and may take a while to load, particularly over a modem.  If it's any consolation, I had to upload them over a modem, then download them again over the modem as I checked the site to be sure they worked.  Enjoy.
Left:  After witnessing Steve Krotzer's "hat trick" at the Greenbrier River, Bob Glotzhober tries to go one better with the infamous "cranefly decoy".
Below:  More pictures of Calopteryx amata.  Head on, 2 males, and a female at the bottom.
Above:  Bob Glotzhober photographing a mated pair of Calopteryx amata.  Hopefully Bob's photos of the pair came out better than mine did (left).
Below:  Not all the collecting was done in the air.  Below left a nymph of Boyeria vinosa, to the right, exuviae pile up at an emergence hot spot.
Left: Pond at Shaver's Fork at Cheat Bridge.

 

Ischnura posita, clockwise from above left:  Male, young female, older female, male;

Finally, another animation, this time of the Dragonhunter, Hagenius brevistylus.  This female was very approachable on her rock in the middle of the Greenbrier River at Clover Lick.
