Slaty Skimmer Teneral Male

I was into a situation where I was sitting on my metal milk carton in the pond.  I could not move because of plants behind me.  I wanted to slide backward slightly but could not.  I decided to photograph the parts of the dragonfly instead.

I sometimes find myself wishing that I had photographed the parts more carefully when I am try to make an ID.

I have a book for ID which uses the wing cell pattern to narrow down the ID
