Unicorn Clubtail Dragonfly

Unicorn Clubtail Dragonfly
Jan Swartz alerted me to the presence of this dragon fly.  Thanks, Jan.

I was previously unaware of this one and had no images in my collection.  Now, I have a lot.

 These images are of the male.  I have seen a female which was ovipositing next to the shore, 6".  I am sure it was the female because the book said that is her behavior.  She was so quick that I could not really see her as my vision is not as quick as it once was.

The graspers on the last segment look intimidating.

I have seen these dragonflies at the big pond and at the vernal down before the covered bridge.
