Hello,
I'm trying to better understand/identify/determine bridge crossveins and how to
count them. I have found a diagram, but because it doesn't tell me how many
bridge crossveins are shown in the diagram, I am not exactly sure which/what is
considered the bridge crossvein and how to count it/them.
I've attached two different wings. In the first, I've circled one in the area
I think is the bridge crossvein, but I'm not quite sure what exactly I'm to be
counting here. If the dragonfly is what I believe it to be, it should only
have one bridge crossvein. In the other, I've left it blank in case someone is
willing to draw on it and show me.
What I would really appreciate, if someone has the photos, is to show me the
wings of a Harlequin Darner and a Taper-tailed Darner so I can actually see the
differences in this area. I only have what I think is the Taper-tailed.
(Initially I thought it was the Harlequin.)
Thanks for the help.
