Ken, The few female Blue-faced Meadowhawks that I have seen and photographed did not have this much black on top of the abdomen, segments 1 - 3 that your photos show. But otherwise it looks like Blue-faced. Not sure what else it could be. Not that similar to Variegated; not even close to Ruby MH, and not close enough to any of the skimmers. I think you are safe going with Blue-faced. Richard Connors Nashvile In a message dated 11/19/2010 1:23:19 P.M.
