Ladies and Gentlemen, I photographed this specimen today at Buffalo Springs WMA in Grainger County. It is a female, and was ovipositing in mud along Buffalo Creek. It was a large dragonfly, noticeably larger than a Great Blue Skimmer perched nearby. My best guess is a Swamp Darner which appears to fit most of the criteria. Any comments will be appreciated. Best regards, Harold Howell Rutledge, Grainger County, TN
