Female Common Whitetail

Female Common Whitetail
The adult male personifies its name because the abdomen is very white and thus quite visible.  The female, not so much.  I think that I have settled on viewing the breadth of the abdomen as my tip off.  Previously, I might have mistaken this insect for a female twelve-spotted skimmer.

 Notice the white edges on the upper segments of the abdomen and its width.
