[Odonata-l] Are they from the species???

[Michael Blust]

Hi Michel - All three of your photos are of the Eastern Pondhawk, Erythemis simplicicollis in the Libellulidae.  The immature males are green like the females, but the mature males are all blue.  One of your photos is of a male that has partially turned blue.  The white cerci are a good field mark for this species in New England.

Hello,

I photographied these 3 green dragonflies when I went to the Great Meadows National Park (near Concord) Massachussets (August 31st 2006) for a business trip...

Are they from the same species??? Is it possible to identify them (family/genum/species)???

Thank you very much for your precious help :-)
